Hello Yesterday i was at my cousin's home, it was a lovely thing to giver a visit, since she became a mother. Well as phones are becoming very addictive to this generation and it is very difficult to get a child from the screen, well my cousin since she became a mother it has been one of the biggest challenge, even to get a son to help her in the chores it was difficult Well not anymore, because she is loving and hates arguments, she decided to give a mental challenge to her two kids, first if they need something, they have to help in the chores around the house, and the next {I think she watched in some videos online} she usually gets everyone's phone first then she serves them food so that they can bond together Don't worry as we ate lunch I did not have my phone until all the dishes were cleaned. And since you know nowadays kids love their phones so much than bonding with others Now this is what is called working smart, do your family members look at the phone while eating? and do you take time to bond with one another?

I do not have a cell phone. Even if I did have one, I would use it sparingly.

@thebos No, but I do it too. We don't do that at home. Besides it is usually just while waiting for food.

@snowy22315 I see, during eating do you bond or talk

It drives me nuts when I see people walking down the street staring at their phone.

That's a great idea. It's a pity everyone doesn't do it.

@thebos We hardly ever use our phones. Just to talk to my husband when he goes out.

That sounds like a good idea. My sister and brother-in-law don’t allow phones or tablets at the dinner table, and are given strict limits in how much time they are allowed to spend on their devices each day.

Well usually when people talk to you with their eyes on the phones is very bad

This is a good plan. Phones distract everything. You cannot hold a conversation for ten seconds before the phone rings.
