School holiday gadget worries

School holidays can be exhausting for parents. Some of us have good intentions about early nights and limited gadget time and then we end up just going with the flow because it helps us stay sane.

I have given up stressing about gadget time because I know I am fighting a loosing battle. Its the in thing. Its what they are all doing. What I can do though is ensure that my child gets some variety in his day.

This is what we’ve been up to these holidays:

Seen the latest movies

Making movies of Pokemon wars

Pokemon go trips

Playing at the park

Trampoline

Sleep overs

Pokemon card game

Bowling

Swimming in the local indoor pool

Limiting ipad time using ourpact

I have installed a few great apps on my son’s ipad to help me manage gadget time. I thought you might like them:
