Have you heard of these?

They're Wi-Fi based, but you can only call your data log.

So only your friend's 10 can phone to the other 10 can phone.

There's no crossover.

And so we're going to put that in our house and see how that goes.

But non-negotiable zones for us are dinner table, bedtime routine, and morning send off.

Just no phones, no friends.

right and those are connection anchors and i think that that that alone has helped us like the most eliminating charging stations for convenience for parents is a really good one put that charger where you have to really think about going and picking up that phone i like that right i like that um

And, you know, for me, I think I have to model it first.

So I say it out loud when I do it because I'm human and sometimes things, you know, come up.

I'm putting my phone down now.

I will say it out loud so my kids hear me say it.

And I will look at them and say, you have my full attention.

That is happening.

helping model it first so that they see that when they do get a phone at some point in their life, there's a respectful way to use your phone and a disrespectful way to use your phone.

The phone is a tool, okay?

And it's important that we teach them how to use it appropriately.

Because we can't, it's out of the box, right, Sean?

It's Pandora's box now.

All of this is out there, right?
