Inspired by the book, you can:

• Discuss: How did the phones in the story feel being constantly still and plugged in? What did they decide to do to change the situation? How did Argyris and his sister react to the "revolution" of the phones?
• Ask the child: What are your favorite games or activities that don't require a screen? What do you like to do outside in nature or with your friends? How can we make each day more "handmade" and less "screen-based"?
• Create: A "no-screen list" with fun activities you can all do together, make a drawing inspired by the past (like Argyris in the book), go for a bike ride, or organize a whole day of play without any screens!
