And do what? These destinations sometimes need to compete for entertainment value hour-for-hour with video games. Additionally, there is an accessibility factor involved in traveling to and from destinations. It requires some serious self-discipline.
As a parent it takes more energy, inventiveness, and patience to entertain our children (or on that note, even another adult) than it does for ourselves.
These alternatives to screen time don't come easy.
- bifrost 7y agoI'm a parent too, I make time so that my child has stimulating activities even if its not my fave. Frankly I have a great time watching my child learn and explore. My kid isn't that old, but I got them a robot that they can "program" from their iPad, its solid learning and exploration time. I think we need to differentiate between "zero value screen time" and "learning screen time" before we make any real judgements about it.
