A new survey finds most kids will put down their devices for the right alternative By Kyle James of ConsumerAffairs September 14, 2026
Screen-time battles are common: 70% of parents surveyed said conflicts over screens happen at least weekly, while 51% said recreational screen time has increased over the past year.

Kids may be more willing to unplug than parents think: 91% of parents said their children would likely put down their screens for a fun family game.

Don't make screen-free time feel like punishment: The better strategy is to make the alternative genuinely appealing and give kids some control over what the family does.

If telling your kids to put down their phones or tablets immediately triggers an argument, here's a different approach: Stop talking about the screens.

That's the advice Dave Campbell, founder and CEO of Taco Cat Games, gave me when I asked him what parents often get wrong when trying to pry kids away from their devices.

Instead of making putting down the screen the goal, make the activity itself the draw, Campbell told ConsumerAffairs. It's a timely suggestion given what parents themselves are reporting.

A new survey of more than 400 parents and caregivers found 70% experience disagreements or conflicts over screen time at least weekly, while 51% said their children's recreational screen time has increased over the past year.

But there's another number that caught my attention: 91% said their kids would likely put down their screens for a fun family game.

Nearly three-quarters also said their children are more engaged during family game time than during screen time.

So I asked Campbell, if kids really are willing to put their devices down, how can parents make that happen without turning it into another battle?

His advice was surprisingly simple: Give them something they'd rather do.
Don't sell it as a 'screen-free' activity
That becomes particularly relevant as parents start thinking about holiday gifts. The survey found 98% of parents are considering screen-free gifts for their children this holiday season.

But Campbell says parents can undermine those purchases if they present them as medicine for too much screen time.

A new game is much more appealing when its presented as something the family gets to do together, rather than something kids are getting because they need to spend less time on a device, Campbell told me.

In other words, his advice is to not make the screen part of the conversation.
