A week or so ago, I looked around my house, and what did I see? I saw three children each on a different ‘screen’ device playing games by themselves and very content.
However, seeing this did not make this mother happy. It made her sad. It made her mad.
“Get off,” she cried, “We’re going to the beach.”
Yes, there was some complaining but everyone got off, and got ready in their own way.
Actually, just before we walked out the door the power went off, so it was really quite well timed.
We had a great time, and I want to make spur of the moment trips out a little more habitual.
What a great idea. Two of the kids looked like they were having fun, the other one…………….well I guess he was still at home having screen time. At least he was out in the fresh air.
