We know a lot about the dangers of electronic “screen time” for our children (addictive behavior for example), but we’ve also seen the many benefits it can have for our kids self-directed learning (researching, reading, creative arts, and problem-solving games to name a few).
.
To protect our kids’ hearts while at the same time giving them freedom to utilize electronic devices, we developed a list of things they must accomplish before earning screen time.

It follows the acronym BEFORE:

• Be creative
• Exercise
• Free play
• Outside play
• Read for 30 minutes
• Earn time by doing something helpful ✨
