Screen-Free Sunday: Helpful Resources

Organisations & Associations Supporting Parents

There are a number of groups around the world that have been created to rewire childhood away from its dependence on screens. They’re a great source of information and resources for parents of Corpus Christi Parish. Here are just some:

Australian Parents Council Digital Parenting

Smartphone Fee Childhood (UK)

Let Grow (US)

MAMA - Mothers Against Media Addiction (US)

Center For Humane Technology Youth Toolkit (US)

Board Games For The Family

You might not have known, but there’s been a renaissance in board games. There’s so much more than the Monopoly, Scrabble or Cluedo games that many parents grew up with.

As pointed out in the article: “ The Rise Of Board Games: Why They’re More Popular Than Ever ” there has been an explosion of creativity in board game design at the same time that there’s been a desire to return to cross-generational analog fun. We are even seeing the introduction of board game cafes, such as Dice Inn in Sydney, where friends can meet up to play a number of hundreds of available games.

So, if you’re looking for something that your family can do together during your screen-free Sundays, consider just some of these new board games:

For Families With Younger Children

• Sushi go

• Blockus

• Catan jr

• Out foxed

• Mars Open
