Sometimes they do it because they feel that parents are not talking to them. Another time they want to watch something is when they are at the back seat of the car on a relatively long ride. In long rides they have either seen or heard from their peers that they (peers) watch something on an iPad \/ iPhone. They Children love to be active, doing something.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"viewer-eeunr\" class=\"eSWI6 _1j-51 _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Work out a solution<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"viewer-85s19\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Children are children and they love to imitate parents, rather than follow instructions. So I thought I would implement an activity in which they can imitate me or can do it sitting next to me or my wife with minimum supervision. I managed to find a very simple solution using two tools: one is a health and wellbeing tracker (cost me $2, bought from Coles, you can buy from any similar retail outlet), and the other is a visual art diary for almost the same price (cost me less than $2, bought from Officeworks). The other tool is pencils. I thought I would fill the health and wellbeing tracker for them by jointly discussing and get them some drawing activities to do on the art diary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-102918\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/childrens-screen-time2-e1667123014782.webp\" alt=\"Using change management and two $2 investments in reducing children's screen time - By Alok Das\" width=\"600\" height=\"414\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-fm4qp\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth2 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Health &amp; Wellbeing tracker bought from Coles<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-hook=\"rcv-block23\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"viewer-6f6sr\" class=\"_2vd5k b6lcWf\">\n<div class=\"_3CWa- sxFoib sxFoib _1GSK2\">\n<div class=\"_2kEVY\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-hook=\"imageViewer\">\n<div id=\"new-image310\" class=\"_3WJnn _2i-Gt _2Ybje\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-102919\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/childrens-screen-time3-e1667122997870.webp\" alt=\"Using change management and two $2 investments in reducing children's screen time - By Alok Das\" width=\"600\" height=\"418\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"viewer-1eecm\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth3 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Health &amp; Wellbeing tracker bought from Coles<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-hook=\"rcv-block25\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"viewer-b0c92\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth3 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-102920\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/childrens-screen-time4.webp\" alt=\"Using change management and two $2 investments in reducing children's screen time - By Alok Das\" width=\"351\" height=\"466\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"viewer-270hk\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth3 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Visual art diary bought from Officeworks<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"viewer-2ur52\" class=\"eSWI6 _1j-51 _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Communicate to the target audience<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"viewer-auu7e\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Children love to imitate rather than be told to do something. So my wife and I sat with our children and explained to them we were going to do two very exciting activities: one is completing the health and well ness tracker and the other is drawing on the art diary, especially when we are riding a car, or when mum \/ dad is busy working and they do not have anything to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"viewer-dm28c\" class=\"eSWI6 _1j-51 _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Coach and train the target audience<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"viewer-c0jj5\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The health and wellbeing tracker has rows and columns about food, exercise plan, drinking water, daily goals, sleep, meditation, etc. and, in our opinion, is a fantastic tool for communication, coaching and training. The discussions that my wife or I had with our children using this tracker proved extremely helpful in increasing the level of daily engagement and communication with our children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-3t246\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">To make the children interested in drawing both my wife and I started drawing in the art dairies either at our leisure times at home or in our car rides (the parent who was not the driver). Then they took an interested in this and they also expressed their interest. We would just tell them \u2018Look what you see from your window and attempt to draw anything you like.\u2019 Once they started doing it, we extended this drawing activity when we would be working from home and the children felt they were being \u2018bored\u2019. Drawing would keep them occupied and we would check their progress on and off.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"viewer-bb0g0\" class=\"eSWI6 _1j-51 _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Reinforce the right habits<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"viewer-fbrh0\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">We consciously kept competing the tracker every day and checking before bedtime what the progress was, how we all felt about our wellbeing and supporting each other. We would also draw on the visual art diary on a daily basis. With the three year old, needless to mention, he would not feel the tracker; either his mum or I would fill it for him. Through repeated use, the kids started to take it as part of their daily habits.
