BGPF064 | Screen Free Session Recording
By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar
This activity focuses on engaging children with hands-on, interactive play that fosters curiosity and learning. The idea is to create screen-free activities that spark the child’s interest by integrating daily household tasks, like baking or playing with water. These activities aim to simulate the enjoyment and learning benefits of screen-based games but in a more tactile and engaging way.
- Make a list of your child’s interests (e.g., cooking, playing with water, puzzles).
- Choose an activity based on their interests. For example, if they love playing with water, set up an experiment using different materials (e.g., pouring, mixing).
- Ensure that the activity is hands-on and visually stimulating. Allow them to see the direct outcome of their actions.
- Introduce new elements to the activity as the child progresses, like varying textures or objects to interact with.
- Keep the activity dynamic and encourage your child’s creativity by offering freedom within the activity’s structure.
- Provide positive feedback and guidance throughout the activity.
- Enhances creativity and problem-solving skills.
- Develops fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
- Encourages self-expression and independence.
- Reduces reliance on screens for entertainment.
- Strengthens the bond between parent and child through interactive play.
- Keep activities short and enjoyable to maintain the child’s attention span.
- Introduce new, exciting elements regularly to keep the child engaged.
- Use everyday items in creative ways to promote resourcefulness.
- Ensure safety by supervising activities involving water or small objects.
- Reflect enthusiasm and excitement as a parent to inspire the child.
