Keep the Connection

Reminder: If you need to shift your attention away from someone to your device, Demystify Your Digital Life and let them know what you are doing.

When someone looks at their phone while you are speaking to them, you likely feel like you’ve lost their attention.  Wouldn’t it be nice if they let you know what they were doing?  For example, “I’m expecting a text from my friend.  Can you hold that thought while I check? I want to give you my full attention which I can’t do if I’m looking at my phone.”

Try this with your child the next time you are together!
