Hi everyone,
With half term in full swing, many of us are juggling work, home life, and figuring out how to keep the kids entertained during the break from school. Mobile phones can feel like a quick and easy solution offering games, educational apps, messaging with friends, and even creative outlets like photography or video editing.
But they also raise questions about screen time, online safety, sleep disruption, and whether they’re replacing more active or social experiences.
Everyone has a different approach and it would be great to hear from our community members about how they manage screen time during school breaks.
Lets hear what’s working and what isn’t when it comes to screen time and school holidays!

Everyone has a different approach and it would be great to hear from our community members about how they manage screen time during school breaks.
- Do you allow more screen time during half term? Why or why not?
- What apps or activities on mobile phones have actually been positive for your children?
- How do you balance keeping them busy with limiting screen time?
- Have you found any good offline alternatives that genuinely compete with phones?
- Do you set specific rules during school holidays, or relax things a bit?
Lets hear what’s working and what isn’t when it comes to screen time and school holidays!
