An exciting way to keep kids occupied during vacations is to teach them new skills like cooking, building projects, gardening, essential household work, etc. It will help them learn something new and allow them to spend more time with you while avoiding screens.
Encourage your kids to get creative with art projects, drawing, painting, writing, music or other artistic skills to foster creativity and reduce screen time.
Encouraging your kids to read books or comics effectively promotes literacy and reduces screen time.
If you need to go outside, seek shaded areas and cover your baby's stroller or carrier with a lightweight muslin cloth or breathable blanket, providing additional shade and ventilation.
Create a fun to-do list every day and make your kid perform all the tasks to keep them busy and away from the screens while learning new things every day.
Enrolling your kids in summer camps focusing on art & craft, sports, and other outdoor activities is an excellent way to keep them away from screens and learn new skills.
Establishing a daily routine for the whole family, including skilful activities, reading, outdoor games and other non-screen activities, is an effective way to keep your kids invested and reduce screen time.
Ensure you have alternative activities such as board games, puzzles or art & craft to keep them away from phones, tablets and other screens.
Consider setting up a reward system for when your kids complete certain activities or reach specific goals to motivate them to avoid screens.
