War Against the Screen
Ibby, a playful 12-year-old, faces the challenge of reducing screen time during summer break. With wisdom as her guide, she embarks on a journey filled with obstacles, epiphanies, and growth.
Ibby loved summer, but this year was different. Her parents noticed she was glued to her phone all day. They worried she was missing out on real-life fun. Ibby's mom said, 'You need to spend less time on screens, dear.' Ibby felt lost; she didn't know how to enjoy summer without her phone.

Ibby tried calling her friends, but they were all busy playing video games. She felt lonely and more frustrated. She tried cooking with her mom, but it didn't hold her interest. She even tried drawing, but her mind kept drifting back to her phone. 'Why is this so hard?' Ibby sighed.
After several failed attempts, Ibby felt like giving up. 'Maybe I'm just not meant to have fun without my phone,' she thought sadly. She slumped on the couch, feeling defeated. Her dad noticed and sat beside her. 'It's okay to feel lost, Ibby. Sometimes, it takes time to find new interests.'
One evening, Ibby's grandma visited. She shared stories of her childhood, filled with adventures and games. 'We didn't have phones, but we had so much fun,' Grandma said. Ibby felt inspired. 'Can you teach me some of those games, Grandma?' she asked. 'Of course, my dear,' Grandma replied with a smile.
With her grandma's guidance, Ibby explored a world beyond screens. She learned to play hopscotch, fly kites, and even made new friends in the neighborhood. She realized how much fun she was having. 'I don't need my phone to enjoy summer,' Ibby said happily. She felt wiser and more confident.
