Top 5 Ways to Reduce Your Toddler’s Screen Time

**Set a Screen Time Limit:**

Establish a daily limit for screen use and stick to it. Consistency is key in creating healthy habits for your little one.

**Engage in Playful Activities:**

Encourage hands-on activities like drawing, puzzles, and outdoor play. Engaging alternatives promote creativity and physical development.

**Create Screen-Free Zones:**

Designate specific areas in your home, such as the dining table or playroom, where screens are not allowed. This helps establish boundaries.

**Be a Screen-Free Role Model:**

Children learn by observing. Limit your own screen time when around your toddler, demonstrating the importance of balance.

**Establish a Bedtime Routine:**

Avoid screens at least an hour before bedtime. Opt for calming activities like reading a book, fostering a peaceful environment for a good night's sleep.

Foster independent play with practice and open ended toys.
