Day 8: Take a tech break
Have everyone—and that includes you!—put their phones in a basket for a specified amount of time. Then do something creative that doesn’t involve a screen, such as playing board games, making a gingerbread house, or taking gifts to your neighbors. Just be sure to let your family know about this plan ahead of time to avoid grouchy reactions in the moment! (After all, perhaps with that freedom we mentioned your son may have been right in the middle of a group text string with his friends, trying to plan a movie outing.)
