Our kids want our full attention more than anything else. Our attention communicates that they are safe, important, valuable, loved. And yet, our devices are powerful magnets for our attention, and our kids feel that distraction. To be clear, I’m not arguing against technology or using devices. I’m suggesting that we create boundaries around devices—not only for our kids but for ourselves. We need boundaries around our device use so that we can help ourselves to give our kids our full attention. Not all the time. But definitely some of the time.
