MOM HACK MONDAY: TV TOKENS 📺🎉🙌 For all of the parents trying to reduce screen time this summer, here is a great hack! Make TV tokens to EARN screen time! Comment "TV TOKENS" and I'll send you the exact items we used to create ours! 🙌🎉🫶 Here's the tokens we have for our system👇 1️⃣ Homework Token: This can be earned by working on our "Morning Menus" (see my "Summer Scholars" reel for info), working on homework from school, doing educational apps on our iPad, etc! 📚🧠🎓 2️⃣ Chore Token: This is earned by completing their daily/weekly chores! (Putting away dishes & laundry, making their beds, cleaning their rooms, etc!) 📃🧺🛏️✨ 3️⃣ Love Token: This is earned when the kids are getting along really well, sharing, doing kind things for one another, etc. They can also earn this one out in public if they do something for someone else (hold the door for them, help them pick something up, etc. 💕🎉🙌 Now you might be asking, do they get any TV time outside of this? The answer is, sometimes! If we are doing a family movie night together, the kids don't have to earn that because it's family time! But why have the kids EARN screen time? Here are just a few reasons 👇👇 ▪️Promotes Self-Regulation: Kids learn to manage their screen time responsibly, understanding that it is a reward rather than an entitlement. This helps in developing self-control and delayed gratification. ▪️Encourages Positive Behavior: By linking screen time to desirable behaviors or tasks, such as homework, chores, or physical activity, children are motivated to engage in these activities to earn their tokens. This reinforces positive habits and responsibility. ▪️Teaches Goal Setting: The token system helps children understand the concept of setting and achieving goals. They learn to plan and work towards earning their rewards. ▪️Balances Activities: It encourages a balance between screen time and other important activities like reading, playing outside, or family time, contributing to a well-rounded daily routine.
