We brainstormed some ideas in what we can change about our lives/house and we came up with installing 2 bookshelves.
We used to have a rule of Sunday Tablet where on this day, kids can access their tablets. But based on observation, kids cannot control themselves and they end up hopping from one crap to another crap videos of youtube. There was a setting of “kids-appropriate” videos only but its not perfect. My kids are getting dumber each second while youtubers are getting richer.
So tablet is banned and No Youtube except for Checker Tobi and several programs but only for some minutes and only when it is school related. And we made it mandatory for kids to read.
Hence, the 2 bookshelves in our living room area and the library became our new goto place every weekend. We have also decided that the kids will not own a mobile phone. There will be a family phone that kids can bring if they are going out with friends but otherwise, phone is out. Not while they are in our house and under our rule.
And that is how we hope to keep our kids safe and healthier. It has been a few months now and so far, no violent reactions from the kids.
Have you made any rearrangements with your own life or kids also?
Greetings,
Karlota
