How can we really prevent our kids from asking for screens like TV, laptop or mobile phones? It's hard if your child is already used to #screentime but totally doable if you put your heart into it! Here are some tips from us (me & Mr. Husband because he is the one who majorly engages her😝😁) to minimize\cut-off screen time from your kid's life for good. . . . 💕 Try to spend as much time possible with them - you can talk, sing, dance & play with them like another kid would do! That's the best way to engage any child. For a little older kids reading with them really helps😊 💕 Storytelling - turn yourself into a storyteller and try weaving interesting stories about animals, birds and characters you know. This will slowly interest them and they will forget watching cartoons & movies in no time. 💕 Create a toddler learning folder (for kids of 2-4 years) - it's a collection of learning activities you can create yourself to prep them for preschool and also keep them engaged for hours together! 💕 Once in a while put on a puppet show - create animal faces on cardboards and imitate like how they talk & their sounds. This is fascinating for any kid I say!! 💕 This might sound not so great for few parents but this is the best way to bring up your kid into a nice human being - engage them in your day to day household chores. For example whenever I wash clothes little miss A helps fill the bucket with water using a mug, she hands me cloth pins while drying them, she has her own broomstick to sweep😂 - likewise you can engage them in your everyday works. This way they get to learn, see and do these simple things. 💕 Make them do their works themselves - for example putting on a diaper\underwear, combing their hair, washing up once they pee, wiping with a towel. They see, they learn, they do. This also helps you because you don't need to keep assisting them always. 💕 If you are a working parent and can't spend much time in creating activities for them you can invest in a good kit like the @firstcryintellikit They have pre-designed kits for toddlers in different themes which are perfect to educate them in an interesting way😊 . . . #SnoozetheScreenwithIntellikit #FirstCry (at Chennai, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4CmCWZFStr/?igshid=1ivvix2hhp1n9
