Everywhere we go, Klara brings her notebook and a pencil and works on her memoir which at this point is somewhere in volume 15. She writes stories, draws pictures, and creates long-division exercises that she finds very entertaining.
People sometimes ask me, “How did you get her to do this?” But I didn’t. I never suggested this activity. All I did was not buy her a tablet or a phone. The words “screen time” have never been used in our house. I don’t have this problem because I never created it in the first place.
At this point, she is old enough that I had to explain why she doesn’t have a screen to stare at. So I explained. She understood my explanation and liked it. You don’t have to quit smoking if you never start. You don’t have to lose weight if you never become obese. It’s easier not to cause the problem because then you don’t have to solve it. I highly recommend this course of action to everybody.
