An “Hour Of Code” With My Bored 5-Year Old At Home

“Mommy!! I am bored!”

“Mommy!! can I watch some more videos?”

“No, this is mine!! I don’t want you to play with my car!!”

I have a 2-year old and a 5-year old who had been home since March when their day-care was temporarily closed as a precautionary measure. And since then, these were the words repeated constantly in high pitch voices in our house. The rule of “no more than 1 hour screen time each day” has turned into “lower the volume when you watch videos”.
