I intentionally unplug anytime I’m with my kids. Tim and I have a rule that there’s no cell phones when the kids are present…so that we can be “present” with them. They are strictly not allowed on our phones or any tech, either. I can honestly say I unplug from the noise quite regularly throughout the day and enjoy the gifts of my children, and even when I’m alone I limit my phone as a distraction. It’s challenging, but possible with intention. Trying to model this for the kids!
It is so great that you are modeling undistrupted attention for your kids! They will benefit not only from that attention, but from the modeling as well.
I unplug by purposefully going somewhere that has no reception and no source of power. We make sure to dock all electronics with screens as far away from our bed as possible. We don’t have cable.
Hey, that's a good challenge!
