Every once in a while, walk in the nature, feel the fresh air and it’s a good way to have fun “offline” . . . These days, digital devices are unavoidable for my kids and as much as I want my kids to stay offline but I have to be flexible & open minded in their learning especially during this circuit breaker period, my kids have to depend more on digital devices to catch up with their study & school curriculum. The best thing I can do as a parent parenting my kids in the digital age is to have a good balance between going online & going offline. When it’s time to go online with their digital devices, I will make sure my kids have their screen time controlled and after they are done with their home based learning, they will take a walk through nearest park or reservoir because I truly believe being in nature reduces stress and improves positive feeling. Engaging with nature is a way to limit children’s exposure to screens and possibly a way to improve creativity too! . . Thanks to the tips I read from Media Literacy Council bit.ly/CliqueClickGuide on how to regulate screen time back to normalcy and how to have fun offline activities, I’m confident I can teach my kids to set boundaries on their own screen time use. My parenting way to take a break from digital technology is engaging with nature and how about you? I would love to hear more! . . . Follow @betterinternetsg on IG or Facebook for more resources.

Because happiness is homemade and this is how we take a break from digital devices ❤️ . . These were crafts I did with my kids last week when I wanted them to take a break from screens, digital devices/technology & the internet. We made candy dispensers for fun play, interactive car land crafts complete with DIY car wash, car showroom, petrol station and car workshop! My kids & I enjoyed it so much and this is how we bond together as a family too! . . I always believe kids need to take a break from digital overload especially these days home based learning is no longer a choice but a mandatory from the school. Taking a break from screens has many benefits including decreased stress, increased sleep, and decreased distractibility.
