No, you can't stay in the hotel room and play on your phone all day.
But I also don't want to say, hey, you can't play on your phone at all, because I've recognized that the phone gives them comfort.
What I've tended to do now that I've realized this as I've gotten older is talk to them, try to... What's the right word?
Think of ways, creative ways to get them to be doing both at the same time.
So I'll say things like,
don't you want to take a picture of that for Instagram?
So I'm sort of encouraging them to be present with whatever the
the sightseeing thing we're doing is while also allowing them to use their phone as a way to get more present with it.
And I think that allows it to be this transitional object that helps them deal with being in a foreign place, but also being in a comfortable space at the same time.
And that's a good thing.
I mean, we like to think that when we're traveling and we all take Instagram pictures, we're just showing off.
But I think we're also trying to stay connected
to an anchor, to what I call the hearth, right?
To our communities.
Like we want to share with them because we want, it makes us feel like we're not so alone and so isolated and so far away.
Yeah, well, the first thing I would say is you said for parents who are tired of fighting, and I like to point out to parents all the time that if you're tired of fighting, sorry, that's part of parenting.
It's not always fun.
If kids always did the right thing without you having to nag them, then they wouldn't need their parents.
So don't expect everything to be calm all the time or even that it's going to make everything easy.
But to the second part about how do you change the attitude so that you're not fighting a screen, I have no problem if you're fighting your child to make sure your child goes to bed at a reasonable hour.
