This Challenge Supports Healthy Families

Fighting Gaming Addiction

Too much time on smartphones and games can change a child’s brain, just like how drug addiction does. It leads to more aggressiveness, tantrums and lack of attention so family and school environments begin to suffer the side effects.
 
That isn’t even the scariest news.
 
Big tech companies make their apps so addictive that kids find it hard to stop using them. They begin to find everything else boring compared to the bright and fast-moving shows that deliver dopamine in repetitive easy-to-consume bursts. Kids never had a chance.
 
Your child might be showing signs of overuse. Things like having trouble focusing, being restless, not caring about things, being aggressive, gaining too much weight, or not being good at talking to others.
 
They might even get really upset or anxious if you take away their device or limit their screen time.
 
Your interest in regaining control over the situation is correct. Children need more alternatives and skills for healthy screen habits and parents need help in guiding that process. That’s where this challenge can help.

Transformational Challenges:

Become a Better Parent in Just 5 Minutes a Day

CREATE educates over 1 Million of families on the best parenting tools available by making them simple to understand and engaging to learn with. This challenge sources the most effective habit building strategies and put it into bite size emails you read in less than 5 minutes. Then use our bonus printable activity or worksheet to bring the lesson to life.

 

Daily 5 minute lessons might sound strange, since we’re used to learning from long informative books and detailed lectures, especially about something as complex as parenting. But life is busy, it makes longer formats hard to follow through on.

 

That’s why CREATE developed Transformation Challenges that guide parents through creating a behavioral change with their child. Instead of a big book or online course you have to separate time to complete, we organized a strategy that is based off of short, practical steps that you learn in daily emails. Each email takes just 3-5 minutes to read and a few more to do.

 

These Challenges focus on:

Being Efficient: Delivered daily emails so you can read quickly and act on fast.

Promoting Follow Through: Each email has a specific, doable action for that day that works towards your reduction goal.

Building Long Term Parenting Skills: Every day your parenting skills will improve, making these habits a natural part of your family life.

Keeping You on Track: Put the stress of remembering on us! Our regular reminders keep you focused and on track.

Learning About Yourself: Some emails help you reflect and grow as a parent.

 

Just a small daily step can make you the parent you want to be.

 

The email guidance lets you choose when to read the lessons. Whether it’s on the bus, during a work break, or while talking to a friend, you can read them anytime, anywhere. If you follow the tips we give over the next 18 days, you’ll start to see a change in how your child behaves with smart devices. They’ll improve at taking breaks from them and using them more responsibly and safely.
