    My child is up all night and I can't get them up in the morning! I just want them to go outside and get some fresh air ! I really worry about my child not getting enough activity in their day!

    Is this something you worry about during school holidays?

    Our webinar Helping Kids with Screen Disorders and Gaming Addiction  is coming up on October the 12th.   For some of us, school holidays can be a time to let loose and let your child unwind by relaxing screentime rules. Gaming can be a fun and harmless way for children and young people to relax, and for many it is a social activity they share with their friends. Do you set rules around gaming during the holidays? How hard do you find them to enforce?
