It was 2 a.m. on March 7th, 2021. My wife shook me awake with the words I’d been preparing for: It’s time. Groggy, I opened the contraction timer app I had downloaded to my phone and began timing the contractions. Thirty minutes later, the result was clear. We needed to get to the hospital.
Hi Scott, thanks for sharing. Excited to read more of your publication. As a new dad myself being screen-free is something I want to do. It's so easy to quickly check a message on your phone and then get sucked in.
Hey Travis, glad to have you! You're so right, like with most things in parenting you often have to parent yourself first. A big struggle of mine with limiting screen time for my kids was to also limit my own screen time. I'm planning on adding some content on how to limit our own screen time as parents so we can be better examples to our kids. Because you're totally right, it's SOOOO easy to get sucked into your phone!
Such an awesome post! It's easy to fall into the screen trap, but your message about making the moments count is so important for everyone in this day and age.
