[quote=Anonymous]Mine are 9 and 11, and they also beg for electronics.  Getting the Disney Circle has helped limit that, since they have a set time limit every day and once they hit it, they can't use their devices anymore.  It's also helpful to me, TBH.  I've set a daily limit for myself on a few websites and once I hit it, the Circle prevents me from accessing them.  I'm clearly awful at self-regulation, so it's super helpful!

Right now my kids are playing an elaborate make-believe game in the basement with friends.  They like to do that.  Other activities they do in afternoons --
jump on the trampoline, ride bikes around the neighborhood, play legos, read books that they've picked out from the library, practice their instruments (this takes like 10 minutes MAX, let's be honest here), do summer math, complain to me about how they're bored with no electronics (this is the 9-year old's favorite activity), listen to music on Alexa, play tennis in the driveway or garage, play catch outside, have play dates with their friends, make up dance or gymnastics routines.  That's all I can think of off the top of my head.  I'm looking forward to reading other responses - maybe we'll all be inspired :)
