Bring the Energy
Watch Rudy’s Mommy Maggie help him transition out of screen time playfully.
Parenting requires so many skills — superpowers, really. You use patience, kindness, humor, gentleness, and firmness, to name a few. When it comes to managing screen time, you also support digital well-being by encouraging moments to unplug — which is no easy feat! In this video, we see Rudy’s Mommy, Maggie, using the superpower of enthusiasm. When Rudy doesn’t seem interested in putting away his tablet, Maggie keeps her cool and leans into the fun they’re about to have at the park. Before he knows it, Rudy is ready to join in the fun, too.
Watch and imagine how you might tap into your enthusiasm superpower, too.
