I Can’t Always Be On My Tablet Social Story

This social story helps children understand the importance of doing a variety of activities rather than just spending all their time on a tablet or screen. It explains that while using a tablet can be fun, it's important to balance screen time with other activities to stay healthy.
 
The story encourages children to create a balanced daily routine, promoting healthier habits and an active lifestyle. It’s perfect for families who want to help children develop a well-rounded approach to their free time.
 
What’s included?
Along with a 15-page social story, there is also a shortened version of the story with movable pictures to attach to each page.  
 
Why Use This Social Story?
Social stories explain situations in simple, calm ways that are easy for kids to understand. They help children learn about social skills, expectations, and everyday situations. Social stories are especially helpful for kids on the autism spectrum or those who feel anxious when they don’t know what to expect.
