Screen-Free Sunday

Between pool parties, vacations, and long sunny evenings, summer is a great time to reset family habits. One powerful way to do that is by carving out time for connection without screens.

Try starting a new tradition: Screen-Free Sunday Afternoons. Turn off phones, tablets, and TVs, and enjoy some simple, meaningful time together.

Here are a few ideas:

👉 Play a board game or card game as a family

👉 Cook a meal or try a new recipe together

👉 Go on a nature walk or have a picnic

👉 Get creative with sidewalk chalk or a craft project

👉 Visit the library or explore a local museum

A few hours away from screens can refresh the mind, reduce stress, and help build stronger bonds. Making this a consistent part of your family's summer routine can lead to lasting benefits.

Your Self-Care Mission: Pick one activity this Sunday and go screen-free for at least two hours. Pay attention to how everyone feels afterward—you might be inspired to keep it going all summer.
