Cutting out screen time was not on my radar as a mom. Television is limited in our home, and it doesn’t cause too many struggles. But Julie’s opening idea- Do you want your child to be a consumer or creator? struck me hard! It had never occurred to me that screen time, as harmless as it seemed, was depriving my children of amazing opportunities to explore and create. This book gave me so many great ideas of what I can do with my children, (and help them do alone), in order to avoid the TV as a babysitter phenomenon and to improve their creativity. Her scheduling suggestions made me realize that a screen free summer would be a beautiful thing to do for my children. We’ve already reduced screen time, and we plan on turning them completely off by summer!
