Beyond the Screen: Helping Children Build Focus, Independence and Real-Life Skills at Home

Technology Is Part of Modern Childhood

Tablets, televisions, phones and games can provide entertainment, creativity and learning. The goal for many families is not eliminating technology but creating healthy balance.

Make Room for More

When recreational screen use crowds out reading, movement, conversation, creative play, responsibilities or sleep, families may want to reset the routine.

Independence Has to Be Taught

Depending on age and ability, children can learn to make their bed, manage belongings, prepare clothes and backpacks, sort laundry, help set the table, prepare simple snacks and contribute to household routines.

Boredom Can Create Possibility

Parents and nannies do not need to entertain children every second. Books, art, building, outdoor play and imagination often begin when children have space to decide what to do.
