Every week I’m joining Donna for Living Arrows and sharing my favourite photo of Olivia from the week just gone.
This weeks photo was taken yesterday. I’m really conscious of how much time Olivia has been spending entertaining herself and on her iPad recently. I really want change this over the coming week. She loves watching videos on youtube and she has a range of educational games that she likes to play.
Life is just so busy at the moment and the balance between work and home life really needs to be restored.
Ah she looks so tired but engrossed. We go through peaks and troughs with screen time – sometimes it’s all they have the brain power to do on their more tired days x
I do think we al go through that pattern. I am in the middle of one as we try to get everything sorted for the Summer holidays. We can only do what we can do and please don’t beat yourself up about it. We were out for a meal the other day and Kipper had my phone (26 months) as he had finished and wanted to play Gruffalo. We had both been travelling for work and hadn’t had a chance to speak to each other much so wanted some time. The lady next to us leant over and told me how amazed she was by the fact he could navigate it so easily. I instantly felt guilty… not that she meant it in that way at all. That mum guilt can catch you when you least expect it xx
Oh bless her. My two go through phases with their tablets too – sometimes it’s all they want to do and then other times they won’t look at them for weeks. #LivingArrows
