The Importance of Unplugged Time with Your Child
In today’s screen-filled world, spending quality unplugged time with your child has never been more important! Taking a break from technology and spending time together allows you to focus on each other, strengthen your bond, and create sweet lasting memories with each other without the distractions of technology!
Unplugged time shows your child they are your priority. It encourages open communication, fosters creativity, and provides opportunities for real connection with one another. Unplugged time can happen during a special one-on-one date with your child, or rather in simple moments like waiting at the doctor’s office or while eating breakfast at the kitchen table.
One way to spend quality unplugged time with your child is through games. Games are a way to problem solve, laugh, and engage together in a safe way that will ultimately strengthen your bond!
Here are a few easy, screen-free games to try:
- Tic Tac Toe
- Hangman
- Draw With Me Books
- Card Games
- Build something together (legos, magnets)
- Cup stacking
- Puzzles
- Board games
- I Spy
- 20 Questions
- Thumb Wars
The next time you find a quiet moment with your child, put down the devices and try something simple and screen-free. Whether it’s a quick game or a meaningful conversation, this unplugged time will show your child they are loved, valued, and truly seen!
