Get kids off their screens & outside

Screens have become an integral part of kids' lives, with video games, social media, and everything in between, making it harder than ever for them to unplug. With this shift, it’s important to encourage children—and adults—to step away from their devices and enjoy time outdoors. Fresh air and active play can improve physical health, boost mental well-being, and even spark creativity. Plus, it's a great way for families to connect and spend quality time together.

The decline in outdoor play is concerning. By age eight, the average child will have spent a full year in front of a screen. According to Primary Times, this rise in screen time is replacing activities like physical exercise and outdoor exploration, both essential for a child’s development. Research from Parliament UK shows that between 2020 and 2022, children’s screen time jumped by 52%.

While technology certainly has its benefits, it can make it tough for kids to play outside. Experts suggest a few strategies to help both kids and adults disconnect from screens and get outdoors. These include making outdoor activities fun with games or challenges, ensuring easy access to outdoor spaces, setting a good example by getting outdoors yourself, limiting screen time, and creating screen-free zones at home. These steps can help strike a balance between screen time and the many advantages of outdoor play.
