Keeping kids busy and active over the summer months when most are out of school can be a challenge. When they get bored, they typically resorts to screen time and of course, we as parents want to limit screen time as much as possible.

If you do allow screen time over the summer, you might consider a contract for screens, especially with older kids and teens.
