Promoting the ‘2’ – New Live 5-2-1-0 Tip Sheet for Families!

It can be challenging to meet the guideline of no more than 2 hours of recreational screen time per day when kids are constantly reaching for their devices and families are spending more time at home due to COVID-19. Sometimes it feels like it’s not worth the battle, and other times we all need a break! In response to feedback from our community partners, we created the Live 5-2-1-0 ‘2’ Tip Sheet for Families which shares suggestions on how to manage screen time in your household and tips on how to make screen time meaningful for kids, because not all screen time is bad. Also included in the Tip Sheet is an interactive flow-chart with daily screen-free alternatives for those moments where spending time on devices might have become a habit (i.e. after school, long car rides, or before bed). The ‘2’ Tip Sheet is available for download from our website’s Resources page under the ‘Families’ sector. This is the second in a series of Live 5-2-1-0 Tip Sheets for Families—stay tuned for upcoming Tip Sheets on the other two guidelines!
