How Can My Child Play Independently Without Screen Time?

This week’s question is from Alexandra,

How do I guide my 9-year-old, only child, to play independently with something other than his iPad?”       

In this episode I will address the dreaded, “I’m bored” complaint parents hear so often outside of screen-time. I will share creative ideas for non-device activities that your child can do independently, why boredom is actually healthy for development, and how to properly react to a child when they are upset with the boundaries and expectations that are set for them. 

You can submit a question by emailing us at support@drbeurkens.com with the subject line “Podcast Question.”
