Encourage Hobbies: Introduce your child to hobbies like drawing, puzzles, music, or crafts that engage them away from screens. 4. Use the 20-20-20 Rule: For every 20 minutes of screen time, encourage children to take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away to reduce eye strain. 5. Organize Play Dates: Arrange play sessions with friends or family outdoors to make physical activity more enjoyable and social. 6. Be a Role Model: Limit your own screen time as a parent to encourage healthy habits and show that engaging in non-digital activities can be fun and fulfilling.
