We finally took the tablets away

So our kids (5 and 7) basically lived on tablets during COVID and we never really walked it back. Over the past month we've been slowly reducing time and honestly the adjustment for US has been harder than for them. Less screen time = more boredom = more needing to entertain them.

Worth it though? They're sleeping better, less whiny, actually playing outside more. But man those first two weeks of "I'm bored" were rough. Just needed to vent that the hard part is parenting, not the screens themselves lol
