Kavi's Stiff Wings
Kavi watched clips for a long, long time. Then — "Ooh!" — Kavi's wings felt stiff, eyes felt tired, and tummy felt a little grumpy. "Screens are fun," Kavi hooted, "but my body needs to move and rest too!" So Kavi set the screen down and flew outside, played, and had a snack with a friend. Wings loose, eyes bright, big smile. A capable kid knows the rule: screen time, then green time. That's balance.
