3. Balance screen learning with movement

The screen swap: after a learning session, everyone does something offline — a walk, a board game, drawing, cooking.

❓ Questions to ask

• “What should we do after our screen time?”
• “How does your body feel after sitting?”
• “What offline activity should we plan?”

⚠️ Common mistakes

Using screens as the default "busy" tool. Boredom is where creativity starts.
