I guess it is still an isolated activity from the kid, but at least the message is "read books" over "stare at addictive device".
You can also talk about the book with your kids and they see different covers each day and may be curious (and may pick it up)
- bluGill 2y agoWhat different does it make? My kids are rarely allowed screens, but they read in excess. They often get into trouble at school because after we go to bed thinking they are asleep they read a book - then the lack of sleep shows up in their behavior.
- aqueueaqueue 2y agoA screen is way more addictive because of the other distractions and apps.
- bluGill 2y agoDoes it matter? They are addicted to paper books in ways that is harmful to other parts of their life.
