I cut back on screen time and...

FIRSTLY, this is not a judgy post. If your kids watch TV and/or use tablets then that's ok, mine do too. In the last few weeks I have been actively cutting my son's screen time. He used to watch TV in the morning whilst we got ready for work, he'd watch it when we were cooking dinner, or when we were doing chores. He obviously has other toys he'd also play with but tbh sometimes we would just throw the TV on. I am selective on what he watches and he doesn't watch YouTube, Cocomelon or any of that. ANYWAY, wow. The difference in him is amazing. He's so much more responsive to us if we ask him to do something, brush teeth/tidy up/put shoes on etc. He is really chatty and he wants to join in with what we do. I was sitting in front of the mirror doing my makeup and he came and brushed my hair (pain 😂). He was helping make dinner and adding clothes to the washing machine. I never thought TV made that much difference to him until we got rid of it. It's just food for thought. I understand it's not always easy and people need it for whatever reason. This isn't mum shaming, this is just me saying "If you can get rid of screens then give it a go and see what happens". We all do what we need to in order to make life liveable 😂 but turns out TV was making ours more difficult??? For reference he has just turned three.
