Common Sense: Holiday Screen Time
Have a Plan to Watch and Play Together
Kids are about to go home for winter break. They're going to watch a ton of TV, play hours of video games, LOL at dozens (hundreds?) of ridiculous TikToks, and group text with friends about how bored they are. 🙄 What are families to do?! 😩
I think, to a certain extent, we should embrace it. Wait. What?! 👀 Seriously. Hear me out.
It hinges on togetherness. 💞 I still remember the laughter-fueled Nintendo marathons with my stepsisters and special outings to see the latest holiday blockbuster in the theater with my parents and extended family. It's true that not all kids are surrounded by family during school holidays. But many are, and they can share these experiences with others. They can watch TV with grandma, play video games with mom, and LOL at TikToks with their cousins. This also makes the holidays a great time for adults to check in with kids about what they're watching, playing, or doing online. 😉
