1. Download No screens challenge HERE

2. Think about how long you want the three periods to be (Depending on other commitments (school days) maybe 30 mins.)

3. Think about a reward for completing the sheet (a batch of brownies, Smores, watching a movie together, even some extra money)

At a time of the day when there is no conflict (do not ask these questions when you are asking you child to stop screens) - maybe at dinnertime - this works well at our house or before bedtime. Also use yourself as an example - we use screens too much too. 

Ask your child the following questions;

1. Do you ever lose track of time when on your device? (Share that you sometimes do.)

2. Have you ever felt anxious, uptight or even a little unwell/nauseous  after playing  games for a long time or watching too much YouTube?   

3. (For older kids) Do you ever worry that you are missing out on things because it is hard to get off screens ?

4.  What are your favorite things to do which do not involve screens? Write them down as a family. Share your lists.

After the conversation:

• Introduce the idea of completing a No screens challenge.  

• Mention that sometimes you feel as though you will never remember the hours you were on Facebook but you do remember the time....(Pick an activity off someone's list). 

• Explain this week we are going to do a challenge. Show them the No screens challenge sheet.

• If there is an incentive - let them know. 

• Remind them to fill in the emojis so they can remember how they felt and review which things made them better?
