The 10-Minute “Yes” Window
Day 1 began with creativity and communication, answering the question, what would you do if the power went out?
Today? It’s all about play.
Did you know? When kids cling to screens, it’s often not about the device it’s about immersion. That deep, absorbed feeling of being “in it.”
So here’s an experiment:
⏲️ Set a timer for 10 minutes.
Say to your child: “For the next 10 minutes, I’m all yours. What should we do?”
That’s it.
The only rule for you?
Say yes. (Within safety and reason, of course.)
🧱If they want you building a castle on the floor, you’re on the floor.
💡If they want to explain game lore or show you something they love, you listen without fixing or correcting.
Ten focused minutes.
No multitasking.
No phone in your hand.
It’s amazing how often this small window softens the screen struggle without a single argument.
This is Day 2 of a 7-day series inside Connected Through Play simple shifts using communication, cooking, and play to make screens less of a battle.
If this feels like something your family needs, come join us.
And tell me what did they choose for their 10 minutes?
