If you’re on this site, you already know that you and your family need to find a way to put away your phones. Whether smart phones are controlling your lives, creating distractions, building a wall between the people in your house – or just an annoyance… It’s never too late to create healthy habits that will improve your family dynamic.
No Phones at Homework Time
There’s probably some behavioral research that shows that kids who study without their phone perform better, work faster and retain more information when they are not distracted by their phone. Without relying on any research, we’ll just defer to good old common sense.
No Phones at Family Time
We’ve all been there. Your family is way too overscheduled and you decide that it’s time for everyone to sit down for a family game (or movie) night. It was a lot easier when everyone was little (the pre-phone era). But now, there are just too many distractions – checking Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, text messages… you name it. At Phone Away, we believe that it’s important to find products can help you physically remove the distractions that smart phones provide. And create a clear boundary between phone time and family time. It won’t be easy at first, but once the fun begins (and over time), you might just get your family back.
“You’re Grounded from Your Phone!” Now What?
When all else fails, taking away a kid’s smart phone can be the ultimate punishment. Not only are they addicted to music, TV shows and entertaining games – in many cases it’s their lifeline to the outside world. No calls, no texts and no posts. The trifecta of silence. The value they place in their phone (or device) can be just the ticket for the perfect consequence for bad behavior. Here are some serious options to keep their phone away – securely and confidently.
Set Goals, Reward Accomplishments
We think it’s crazy, but phone/screen time can be seen as a motivation to some kids and teens. Set clear expectations and goals – while physically managing their prized possession. You might just see a clear path to the results you expect.

dinner time
Dinner time is a great time for families to share, connect, and enjoy each other’s company. While today’s families don’t eat together as much as previous generations, it’s important that when we do – we take advantage of that special time. And put our phones away. All of our phones – kids and parents. This will allow for the family unit to really engage – and create an environment where everyone can be heard and life can be shared. These moments won’t last forever – and you might just miss them when they’re gone.
