A digital detox for kids doesn’t have to mean strict rules or taking devices away in a dramatic stand-off. It’s really about creating space — space for boredom, for movement, for conversation, and for those slightly chaotic moments that don’t come with an on/off button.

Being mindful can play a significant role in helping prepare your child for summer camp.
