UPDATE: Our screen time experiment actually worked

Remember my post about trying to implement the 2-hour rule? Well, it's been 3 weeks and I'm legitimately shocked. My 7yo and 9yo complained for exactly 2 days, then they just... started playing outside more. Yesterday my older one built an entire fort situation in the backyard and was outside for like 4 hours straight. Still can't believe it. The secret was replacing it with actual structured activities they wanted to do, not just saying no.
