How to Keep Phones from Hijacking Your Family Time

The Digital Footprint

Are you feeling like your phone is taking over your family life? Don't worry, you're not alone.

In this episode of Digital Footprint, Richard Simms talks with Joey Odom, co-founder of Aro, about the unique challenges parent's face balancing home life with smartphones.

According to Joey, the way you use your phone today is the #1 predictor of how your child will use their phone someday. Fortunately, the solution isn't to eliminate technology, but to use it in a way that enhances rather than detracts from your life.

Key Takeaways To Listen For:

  1. How kids observe & mimic their parents' device usage
  2. Establishing rules and expectations for device use in your home
  3. Why finding alternative activities can help your family use devices more mindfully
  4. Joey's personal wake-up call about the impact of smartphones on his relationships
  5. Starting early with healthy device habits makes it easier for your families to maintain them
  6. How constant proximity to your devices can negatively affect interactions with loved ones
