While you’ll never be able to keep your children’s hands off technology entirely, you can take steps to reduce how much time they’re staring at a screen.
When there’s a sunny day, they’ll be more motivated to go outside if they know that they’re not able to spend time staring at their smartphone/tablet.
If your children know that they can have fun outside, then they’ll be more likely to spend time there.
While your yard might become the go-to outdoor area for your children, it’s also important to look at taking longer, more exciting trips into the outdoors.
