Finally got my kids outside and it WORKED

We had a rough winter stuck inside with screens. Started a rule: no device time until after 4pm on weekends and that changed EVERYTHING. My 8 and 10yo are actually playing outside like... for hours. They built like three forts in the backyard.

It's been three weeks and honestly their attitudes are better, they're less whiny, sleeping better. I wish I'd done this sooner instead of bribing them with screen time to be quiet. Just posting this in case someone else needed to hear it.
