How to UnGlue Your Kids From Screen Time

Let’s face it, technology is not only the way of the future but it is also the future for our children.

They are growing up in a society where cell phones and tablets are like an extension of their body. They are going to be in a society that heavily depends on the use of these types of technology for their careers and lifestyles. They need to be assured that they are secure when using their cellphones no matter what so showing them phone security statistics and discussing with them ways in which they can protect themselves is very important.

Teaching your children to use a cell phone and a tablet is really a very important part of growing up today. However, we do know that too much screen time is not a good thing. We need them to be able to walk away from the phone or tablet and get back to real life, face to face interactions. Playing with toys, talking to people, running around at the park. Taking nature hikes with hiking sticks and exploring the world around them.

I love letting my kids have screen time, I mean I need a break too! I need to finish mopping the floors, cook dinner and maybe check my own Facebook page. But like all things, there is a time and place for everything. Look into internet access guide for kids and parents.

The most helpful new app, and my new obsession, is unGlue. This new app is what all parents have been wanting and it’s finally here!

With unGlue, you can turn the internet on and off of your child’s devise through an app! Plus there is so much more it offers.

Available on Android and iPhone devices

I have an android for my cell phone, and my children both have their own iPads. I was able to quickly and easily set up the app on my phone and their devices and link them together in under 10 minutes. I was so impressed with the easy flow of set up, I honestly expected it to be a little more involved.

Once on my cell phone and on their tablets, the little app icon is available for you to click on. On the parents device you can see the different accounts you have connected, one for my sons iPad and another line for my daughters iPad.

I use the Premium plan, but you can try it out for free for 14 days before purchasing. With the Premium plan I am able to set up daily limits on internet time. I set my kids up for 90 minutes of internet Monday through Friday, and on the weekends I allow them 3 hours per day.

If my kids are not listening to me, and need to stop watching YouTube and come to the table, I can instantly shut off the internet from my device. This is such a handy tool for the stubborn days when they just cannot peel their eyes away from the latest blind bag video they discovered, or you could look into services like unrankedlolaccounts.com if your son can’t take his hands away from the keyboard trying to level up his character.

unGlue – How to add more screen time

I can also access reports, showing me how things like how long he watched YouTube this week or even this month.

unGlue – see reports

If you want, you have the opportunity to allow your kids to earn more screen time. They can go into the app through their device and request the opportunity to earn more screen time by completing chores like reading a book, empty the dishwasher, set the dinner table, walk the dog, and you can even add custom options too!

Time: Earn it. Spend it. Save it.

Screen time may be the most precious commodity in your home. unGlue lets your kids treat it like cash – a minute saved is a minute earned. Teach them to spend it wisely. You can put put limits on how much earned time your child can use in a day too – so that they cannot veg out for 8 straight hours on the internet.

unGlue – How to use the chores option

Once the time is out for the day the app or website will no longer work. They can click over to their unGlue app and see that they are out of time and ponder whether they want to ear more time, use the time they earned or switch to a non internet, education game which you have already place on their device.

The unGlue app will quickly become the most important app you have every used. It will change how you manage screen time. It will help motivate your children to do their chores. It will bring your family closer together. Try it out for free today and see why MamathteFox is so excited about unGlue

Be a Mom, but Be You Too!

Being a mom is one of the best things any woman can do with their life, but it is not the only thing that woman can do in life. And, more to the point, being a mom doesn’t need to make a woman just a mom – woman can still be whoever they want to be, whether they have children or not.

 

So, be a mom, but be you too! For advice on how to make this sort of situation work, make sure to read on.

The Basics You Need to Nail Down Before You Can Become Truly Healthy

Getting healthy and keeping fit is a constant struggle because it’s a task that can never truly be completed. Instead, you have to keep improving, keep making mistakes and keep learning from them; that’s what it’s all about. Saying this though, with there being options like fresh fruit delivery to office, at least while sitting in front of a computer screen at work, there is a chance to eat healthily. This transition may not be easy for everyone, but it is not impossible to make a change to leading a healthier lifestyle.

It’s rarely a good idea to just dive into a new health and fitness regime without first nailing down some of the most basic things. If you don’t lay the foundations properly, you can expect to face difficulties later on, and that’s what you want to avoid. Even if it means checking out these 10 nutritional tips, at least that’s a start and it shows that you are willing to make a positive change to your health.

Ultimately, one of the most important things to remember about focusing on your health is that there are so many different approaches out there nowadays. For example, one of my best friends is a huge fan of complementary therapies. For example, recently she has taken up yoga and gemstone therapy to boost her sense of wellbeing. Apparently, since taking up regular meditation and using a jade yoni egg, she has noticed a big difference in her pelvic floor muscles. Accordingly, if you would like to learn more about yoni eggs and the Chinese preference for jade you can find plenty of helpful resources online. Above all, living a healthy life is all about doing what makes you feel good.

Anyway, we’re going to look into some of these basics in more depth so that you can get them right before you start to overhaul your approach to your health and fitness. Getting off to the right start will make you far more likely to experience positive results in the long-term. That’s what’s most important, so read on and start learning now.

Cooking Equals Control

When you cook your own meals at home rather than eating out or eating processed foods, you’re able to control your diet much better. It’s simple; when you’re the one preparing the food from scratch, you’re the one controlling what goes into it. You can then make healthy decisions at every turn. Don’t rely on other people creating healthy food for you or even products that claim to be healthy. Those shortcuts can’t beat creating your own healthy meals.

Realise Your Reliance on Convenience and Shortcuts That Make You Lazy

We’re all guilty of taking the easy option over the more strenuous ones, but you might not realise just how often you do this. Every time you choose to take a short journey in the car rather than walking, you’re taking the easy shortcut. Every time you take an elevator rather than a flight of stairs, you’re taking the easy route. These little things mount up day after day and ultimately make you lazy.

Know What You Need to Look For on Labels

Buying products in shops can be a nightmare from a healthy eating point of view. That’s why you should buy as many fresh items as possible. But even so, you’re still going to be buying some packaged produce, and that’s why you need to learn how to read food labeling the right way. It’s vital to know what you’re looking for and how to judge a food product, so definitely look into this further.

Don’t View All Fats as the Same Because They’re Not

There are so many different fats that are found in foods, and you can’t simply take the same blanket approach to all of them. Some fats are better for you than others, and everyone’s body needs some form of fat. Things aren’t black and white when it comes to judging food and food groups, so don’t allow yourself to fall into that trap. It certainly won’t pay off for you in the long-term if you do.

Wake Up to the Realities of Portion Control

Portion control is a major thing that many people struggle with. For some people who are overweight and unfit, the issue isn’t that they’re necessary eating the wrong foods, but rather that they’re eating too much of those foods. You need to learn more about portion control and how much of each food group you really need to have in your diet. Without that, you will probably carry on eating more than your body needs.

Understand That Drinks Can be Full of Calories and Sugar Too

Ideally, you should only ever eat your calories and not drink them. Most people don’t notice just how many calories are packed into lots of drinks, from soda to wine. The calories should always be checked before you start drinking these products because you will fill up on empty calories and cause yourself to put on even more weight if you drink these things too much. Furthermore indulging in too many sugary drinks can cause all kinds of dental problems like cavities and gum disease. Consequently, alongside reducing your sugar intake, it is vital that you schedule regular checkups with a Dentist in Syracuse to ensure that your teeth are as healthy as they should be.

There Aren’t Any Silver Bullet Solutions, No Matter What People Tell You

It’s all too tempting to believe those people who tell you that you just need to do this one easy thing and you’ll lose all your excess weight within ten days. But those silver bullet solutions are worthless, and even when they do produce results, they tend to only be short-term results, rendering them close to pointless. You need to focus on the core things mentioned here and not be sucked in by health scams.

Now that you have a better understanding of some of the most important issues surrounding your approach to health, you can start trying to implement these ideas and concepts correctly in your own life. It won’t be easy to begin with, but nothing worth doing is ever completely easy.
