Screen addiction might seem like a really hard thing to combat in today’s day and age. It is something that many families feel as if it is consuming their family. Therefore, to stop this from happening, you must get creative. The best thing to avoid screen addiction is to not have screen. You should put a time limit on how much time your kids can watch TV, or play video games. Stay active on the weekends by going out and doing stuff.
