Tere are countless other options, but here are a few ideas:


• Show interest in your child by talking about the games they play or YouTube channels they watch.


• Build on the themes of the video games your kids enjoy:


• Build Lego structures found in the video games they play.


• Create a continuing story where each family member adds on, based on a theme from a video game.


• Go to the science museum if they like fantasy games.


What are the Best Ways for Families to Spend “Unplugged” Time Together?


S


pending time together can begin with simple things like leaving electronics at home when going


to the grocery store. Ten minutes of conversation in the car together counts! Make it a rule that all family


activities like game nights, TV or movie time and especially dinners are 100% device free. Put your phones on silent (and, better yet, in another room) so they don’t distract or tempt you. Find things to do that you all find interesting. You may not love all your


child’s interests but telling him that his video games are dumb or a waste of time isn’t exactly a conversation starter! Make a list of activities NOW for


when you’re looking for things to do later. Tis eliminates the inertia that comes with not being able to think of anything to do in the moment. Make a list of both free and paid activities. Use the internet for something useful and do this as a family. You can search for “fun things to do this weekend” or go to Groupon for ideas.
