Before turning on a screen: practical tools to guide your kids

The “Before Turning On a Screen” set includes:

• A downloadable poster, “Our Kids and Screens”: display this printable in plain view and have your kids make sure they've followed the path shown and completed each of the steps before earning the privilege of turning on a screen. As well as doing a chore, taking the time to eat and taking care of their personal hygiene, your child will also have to do a variety of activities, whether creative or sporty, before getting the long-awaited permission. That way, you'll make sure their days are well balanced and that they fully develop their brain's potential!
  
  

• A little 10-step task chart and the “Steps of My Day” magnets: to keep your kids from asking you all day when they'll get screen time, create a routine each day that they have to follow and that tells them in advance which activities are on the schedule. They'll know exactly when they can have access to screens in between routine activities, quiet play, creative play and outdoor play. Ask them to move the magnet to the “Done” section of the chart each time an activity is finished so they can keep track of how their day is going.
