I would like to introduce you to Carolyn Rahnama the owner of Busy Box Child in Los Angeles, California. I started my company around when Covid began because almost every parent I spoke to complained about the amount of time their children spent on the screen for online school and after school on TV, iPad and other electronics.
Technology use is already at an all-time high amongst young children, and now with Covid it’s gotten even worse! My own children were spending an average of 6-7 hours a day on the screen. I couldn’t just sit and ignore this specially, after checking my youngest child’s screen time data one day that read 7 hours. I could no longer sit and not do anything about it. This is when I came up with Busy Box Child sensory activity boxes.
I created these boxes with great attention to detail to address children’s Sensory needs and creativity while having fun and staying mindful! After launching Busy Box Child, I realized that so many parents out there had the same concerns about screen time. Parents started to buy my kits faster than I was able to make them and soon after, it caught the attention of Mom influencers and a couple of celebrity moms.
1 year later and My company has been in almost a dozen family magazines and blogs, Perez Hilton, a Podcast and The Megan Pormer Show which airs Saturdays on Fox.
Busy Box Child is not only a business for me, but also my mission to tell parents that there are other things children can do than be on the screen all day.
For entertainment. My Busy Box Child kits are colorful, creative and fun. They even promote family time. Parents have reported that each time they wanted to bond with their children, they take out a kit and start creating.
