Episode 133 Q&A: How Can My Child Play Independently Without Screen Time?
This weeks question is from Alexandra, “How do I guide my 9-year-old, only child, to play independently with something other than his iPad?” In this episode I will address the dreaded, “I’m bored!” complaint parents hear so often outside of screen-time. I will share creative ideas for non-device activities that your child can do independently, why boredom is actually healthy for development, and how to properly react to a child when they are upset with the boundaries and expectations that are set for them.
