Saving summer

Morning is my favorite time of the day until summer break came to be!  My quite mornings turned into the TV blaring, computers buzzing and game systems roaring!  Everyone was involved in their own screen...me included!  I finally had to save this summer and incorporated a rule that no screen time was allowed in the mornings.  The result...at first moaning and groaning the first day, then something amazing happened!  Books came out from under beds, guitars were picked up and new songs were learned, conversations were had, board games played and so much more!  But the most important result is that we were interacting with each other and not interacting with a screen so early in the morning.  We all now start our day off in such a simple and healthier way!
