Screen Time Coupons
Written and Photographed by Tori of Lil’ Mrs. Tori
Now that summer is in full swing over at my house I’ve been trying to sit B down for some one on one learning time. We go over the basics of writing his letters, learning numbers, and reading comprehension trying to get him prepared for kindergarten. He likes to give me a run for my money most days. He is great with his teachers but with me, well, it’s been a struggle. B loves to play games, it is probably one of his favorite activities. So I came up with some screen times coupons as a reward for completing his work.
We always limited his time anyway but now he is earning it. It gives him something tangible to turn in to play his favorite games. Each coupon has a limit of 30 minutes for us and so far it has been working like a charm. For each activity he earns one coupon. If he is out of coupons, he can choose to do a worksheet, practice writing, or complete a few chores.
Screen Time Coupons
Just simply print the coupon out. I would suggest cardstock for a sturdier feel. I used my laminator for extra durability. You can always come up with your own ways to use the coupons! I’ve heard of parents handing out a certain number of coupons for the week and the child turns them in. For us, they have been a great way to get a little learning in throughout our day and keep a time limit on how much screen time he gets!
OMGSH! You are just Brilliant!! You are now my favorite person! I have consistently the same trouble with my youngster daily! Accept mine has troubles listening to the Teachers too. She also has cognitive & speech issues, which actually makes the work on letters & numbers here’s even that much more important! GRRR! But, here you are saving me, thank you thank you! HINT: I will have these hanging up handy, I will be ‘telling’ her these “came from her Teachers” and so maybe it will work! I wish you luck & will update you as we use them. Thanks A Million!
