Many parents today are worried about their kids and their love of screens. It becomes difficult to plan family time in Miami when you’re competing with the latest cartoons, video games, and more.
However, the misconception that kids these days aren’t interested in offline forms of entertainment just isn’t true either. Here are some ideas on how to plan family time so that everybody (including parents) lets go of their devices.
Get Out of the House
The best way to make sure that your kids don’t run to their devices when it’s time for family time is to get out of the house where there are fewer temptations to reach for a phone or tablet, or leave the device at home. Go for a walk in nature or head on a day trip to somewhere new. The novelty will help break old patterns and provide memorable family time in Miami.
Check Out One of the City’s Many Child-Friendly Attractions
One of the great things about living in Miami is the wealth of child-friendly places, many of which are affordable to enter or even free. Places like the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science offer interactive exhibits designed for kids and interesting attractions such as an aquarium.
Keep an Eye on Your Own Device Usage
Kids learn the most from observation. Make sure that you’re not inspiring their screen time by reaching for your own phone. Try to model reading, going for a walk, or checking out an adventure in your city.
