Tristan and I constantly worry about the boys screen time,
thinking they spend too much time watching TV or playing video games, but then
quite often I catch the two of them fully engrossed in some amazing imaginative
play.
Today is a really rainy day, so we raided the recycling box
and used up some shiny book covering that Rowan needed for his school books and
they now have a rocket each which has kept the entertained for a good hour so
far.
The other morning they were engrossed in a lego hotel game,
which consisted of a few lego men and an empty cardboard box, the whole morning
was spent playing this, each with their own character, Rowan is always Leon in
these games?! Not sure where Leon has come
from
The other day in the park, they had finished playing bike
dodgeball (a Rowan invented game) and headed into the play park where they
played a game of secret agent tuck shop – Rowan was Mega Meteor and Reuben was
Awesome Eagle – This again kept them happy and entertained for another hour,
until it was too hot and we had to go home.
So I think our fears are unfounded, yes they enjoy the TV
and video games, but what child (and a lot of adults too) doesn’t, but it
hasn’t ruined their imaginations that’s for sure! To be honest it would take a lot to destroy
Rowan’s imagination, he is still as random and out there as ever!
