Enjoy a Screen Free Summer with Circle
I’ve always found that the best time to change screen time habits is when a change is occurring. At the change of seasons, we can pump up our families or our classroom students with seasonal ideas of outside play and hands-on adventures. When the school year comes to a close, we can dream up summer bucket lists and dive into imaginative play. Sometimes we get into a rut with our schedules, but with change on the horizon we can aim for enjoying the great outdoors all summer long!
One tool that can help you make the most of your summer is Circle! We all know that childhood flies by! We get 18 summer stretches with our children and these are the months to pack in the life-long memories. Circle is the #1 parental control and screen time management solution, helping ensure that you don't miss out on the best life has to offer.
In particular, 2021 saw a sharp increase in childhood screen time, some reports show an increase as high as 500%. Since unstructured play leads to lifelong benefits in every facet of child development, summer is a great time to set the screens aside and glean all the benefits nature play has to offer. A digital break is good for everyone!
