Today I am determined

Today I am determined to reduce my little one's screen time.

Last night, my husband and I had a long discussion about how we are getting concerned about our son's prolonged exposure to media. It started when I began my part time job during covid. Then we were moving to another city and amidst all the crazy business of packing and travelling long hours to find housing, he became addicted to his iPad little by little.

As a mom, the mom guilt is real. As if I had ruined everything. But my husband's optimism is so powerful. He reminds me it is never too late. That we have a lifetime to help our boy restart and build good habits.

So today was day 1 after that discussion.

On his way to work, he says "today is going to be a winning day."

The spirit of his strong heart is contagious. Like a caption, his words appear on my mind.

And it was a success! I tried hard to draw the line and make sure to engage with my little one so as to gently encourage him to do other things than watching his iPad.

Here's to another day and eventually a winning year and more to build a healthy daily routine.
