Are you struggling trying to figure out how to keep your child unplugged after the long winter season? Screen-free time is essential to healthy child development. However, kids today are surrounded by technology, making reducing screen time a seemingly endless battle. Mowglis’ summer camp for boys has you covered, helping you and your child develop healthier technology habits to ensure a smoother, stress-free daily routine.
