For the near daily dilemma of what else can keep them busy--this little list provides ideas and activities at that critical moment--when your brain is busy trying to plan dinner.

Ask your child to help brainstorm a list of fun things they like to do at a time when you are both feeling more resourceful.  Then print it out and keep it right next to the remotes.

I also have a reusable TV time card and mark off screen time (in 30 minute increments) as she uses it.  This allows her to visually see her limited quantity of time AND I can cross out boxes of time for bad behavior.

At the end of the week I dab a little hand sanitizer on a cotton ball and erase the sharpie marks like magic!
