[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have to say I’m really surprised by some of these responses and now grateful that my kids’ friend group is comprised primarily of parents who try to limit this stuff. They play games, play outside, bake treats. It requires the tiniest bit of effort (parents saying “no screens”) but it’s very possible. And no, it doesn’t kill their social lives. At all.[/quote] +1 I know that kids that age are eager to act and do older things but they are actually in an in between stage where they still enjoying more kid-friendly activities. Sometimes they just need to feel comfortable to do that. Baking kits, Chopped competitions, escape room in a box, doing nails, making your own body scrub, board games, mad libs, painting kits, crafts, flashlight tag, water balloon fights, karaoke machine, etc are all options. You don't need to manage it as a parent but just provide the supplies and gently encourage. [/quote]
