For years, we’ve been told kids are spending too much time on screens. But, what if we focused on the activities we want them to be doing instead? On our next Action Network Live!, we’ll chat with book author and expert Dr. Meghan Owenz, whose SPOIL system has helped families focus on the multitude of activities that build healthy children and incidentally reduce screen time and its negative effects.
It is the much needed “what to do” answer instead of the heavy-handed “what not to do” mandates about children’s screen time. Dr. Owenz makes it simple by explaining how to use goal science to reduce screen time by focusing on what children need more of, like social time, play opportunities, outdoor experiences, chores, and a strong relationship with reading. Plus, one lucky participant will win a copy of Meghan’s book, Spoiled Right. Must be present to win!

From Goodreads: "If kids are supposed to be spending less time on screens, what should they be doing instead? This book answers that question and gives parents and those who work with them a science-backed, developmentally-appropriate system for emphasizing alternative activities of childhood, which can incidentally reduce screen time and minimize the negative effects."
