Many households have relied heavily on screens for months. With in-person school starting soon, will your children need a “digital detox” first? If you can answer yes to questions like, “Are they irritable when not on a device?” or “Are they sleep deprived because of usage?” try these digital detox tips:
- No screens at meals—family time!
- No devices in rooms at night—there’s little impulse control if it’s right there.
- Go for a gradual decrease—decide on an acceptable screen limit and then reduce it until you reach your goal.
Remember to be a role model and put your phone down as well!
