Dean West: Together Off Screen, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Some days a screen is the easiest answer to "What shall we do?" Together Off Screen gives families 52 other options, without turning screen time into a battle.

Designed for families with children aged roughly 6-12, the book is there for the ordinary moments when you want something to do together: ten minutes after school, a rainy afternoon, time to fill while you are waiting, or a weekend with no particular plan.

The challenges include talking games, simple making, movement, observation, small outdoor ideas and useful things to do together. Many need no materials at all; others use ordinary things you are likely to have nearby.

You do not need to start at the beginning or complete every challenge. Each one tells you roughly how long it takes, what you need, how much grown-up involvement is useful, the kind of setting it suits and how energetic it is. Easier and stretch versions help families adapt an idea for different ages, abilities and moods.

There is space to mark favourites, note what you changed and keep the memories worth keeping.

This is not a detox programme or a lecture about technology. Screens can be useful, creative, social and necessary. The point is simply to have a few good alternatives ready when your family wants something else to do together.

Pick what fits the day. Repeat the good ones. Leave the rest.
