This week is National Screen-Free week, our kids' favorite week of the year. Ha! We love hearing from our readers about the different ways you manage screen time at home, including some of the tricks you've picked up from Cool Mom Tech.
Lots of you have strict rules against screen time during the week, while others are focused more on helping yours kids learn how to self-regulate when it comes to their tech use. One thing we can all agree on though: it can be tough.
A new book by Shannon Philpott-Sanders is here to make it a little easier for you when your kids come in whining that they're bored and you're not inclined to put a tablet in their hands. It's called Screen-Free Fun, and it's packed with 400 ideas for things to do that don't involve screens.
Like fresh air. Open-ended play. And yes, slime recipes.
