100+ Offline Activities to Reduce Screen Time

With studies indicating that too much screen time can have a negative impact on children, many parents are searching for ways to protect their kids and regulate screen time. Instead of taking their devices away (and possibly sparking resentment), try finding offline activities that are safe and that your child enjoys. When students are excited about participating in offline activities they naturally spend less time on their devices and social media. Aside from reducing screen time, offline activities provide students with the opportunity to grow, learn new skills, and collect experiences they can add to their student resumes.

Sample Email #2 for Educators and Parents:

Hello Parents!

We found a new program called "Smart Social Membership" that teaches parents the hidden parts of social media apps (and gives parents videos they can watch WITH their kids to keep everyone safe and smart online).

Every month there are a few short videos in the private group you can watch WITH your students that teaches kids about: College Prep, Safe Social Media, Anti Bullying, and how to shine online.
Every month they launch new videos to teach Snapchat, Instagram (and a dozen other apps).
I encourage you to take a close look at this program today. They have a very good video called "The Hidden Parts of Snapchat" you should watch immediately.

Their membership starts at just $5/month to try all the videos for 30 days (and get access for as long as you are a member).

Also, one of the interesting parts of this program is that the instructors show students how to use their social media accounts to someday create a positive online resume.

The program is designed to give students a purpose for social media instead of having it as a pastime.
Here's more information on the program: https://smartsocial.com/vip
