Many a times we are facing issues that our children are unable to sustain interest in the activities that we had planned for them. As a result, they are turning back towards their smart phones and tablets. We have been sharing about "removing and replacing" activities. What do you all think are possible ways such that the children can sustain the "replacing" part?

I think first of all, 'replacing activity' must capture the interest and heart of children. By checking in with children on what they like to do or participate in, we can ensure that the first step is taken right!  Also, as of all other hobbies and interesting activities, what make it sustainable is the constant recognition and satisfaction derived from the activities. So hopefully by constantly providing such recognition and satisfaction directly or indirectly to them, we can better assist them in sustaining the activity and slowly make it into a new habit for them. |

I think no matter how hard we try to replace the activities to interest our child, it wouldn't really work out unless we have a positive relationship with our child. Like we need to have mutual trust between us. If there is no trust, it would be difficult for us to be accepted by our child, likewise, if we do not trust our child, we will always find fault in what they do, even though we try not to. I agree with Z that the 'replacing activity' must capture the interest of them. But at the same time, even if it does capture their interest, they may not want to be engaged in the activity with us (parents)...

i agree that the replacing part needs to be something they are interested in. but i also agree that they might not want to do with us. also, what if the activities they are interested in is not something that i feel they shd be doing? what can i do then?
