I remember my summers...full of swimming, reading, playing outside, making up new games, and writing and illustrating my own mini-books.

So I am so glad I read a post on Facebook the other day that addressed this very issue!! I added and tweaked a couple of items and here is our new plan for the summer to reduce the time the kids are spending on "glowing screens". This includes tablets, ipods, iphones, computers, netflix, and television.
