Yesterday was
our screen-free day. As part of R’s
homework, he has a little something to do each weekday that lets us in on what
his class is working on in school. This
month in health they are learning about physical activity. As an example of this, yesterday was
scheduled to be a screen-free day so R could not watch TV, play video games, or
interact in any way with digital devices.
In order to show our support, Hubby and I decided we would have a
screen-free day right along with him.

I did not
realize how reliant I am on devices.
When I’m working, I use a computer.
I schedule all my activities and events on my smart phone. I listen to satellite radio when I work out
and I even listen to audiobooks while I clean.
It was a very difficult day and although I managed to be device-free
while R was home, I failed during the day.
Yesterday was cleaning day so I spent my time cleaning the house and
doing laundry but I did take a break to look and respond to emails and I did
listen to my audiobook while I cleaned.
Although I
failed during the day, R and I did have some great one-on-one time. We read books together, we played cards, and
we played Lego. I foresee more
screen-free evenings in our future. It
was good to connect with each other and imagine together.
Have you had a
screen-free day? How did you do? What would you change?
Take Care, D
