When YOU Need the Screen Break

We focus so much on kids' screen time.

But what about yours?

The Reality

You probably reach for your phone:

• First thing in the morning
• During any downtime
• When stressed
• Before bed

It's not your fault. Apps are designed to pull you in.

But it might be affecting you more than you realize.

How Phones Drain You

• Constant information overwhelm
• Comparison traps (social media)
• Sleep disruption (blue light, stimulation)
• Taking you out of the moment

You might not feel present with your kids. You might feel more anxious. You might wonder where the time went.

Screen-Free Week for YOU

What if this week, you also reduced your screen time?

• Phone in another room during meals
• No scrolling first thing in morning
• Charge phone away from bed
• One hour with phone completely silenced

The Discomfort

At first, you'll feel withdrawal. That's normal.

Boredom. Twitchiness. Reaching for nothing.

Sit with it. On the other side is more presence.

The Modeling

Kids watch what you do.

If you can put the phone down, they learn phones can be put down.

You first. They follow.
