We live in a society where adults spend more time staring at their screens during the day than sleeping at night. It's that sad, but it's totally true, they forget to disconnect.
It is necessary for parents to learn to disconnect from their mobile phone so as not to miss their children's childhood. Many of the times that you are looking at the mobile screen and you tell your child to wait when he wants to tell you something, you are missing his childhood.
It is sad to see parents gazing at the mobile screen while their children eat, play or are talking. They are familiar scenes that parents miss because of thinking that they are more connected in this way, when in reality they are disconnected from what really matters: children and family.
Yes, social networks and the information at your fingertips can make you feel that you are totally connected to the world, but the reality is that you are alone and you are neglecting the people who are really next to you and that they are the most important in your lifetime. It is important that during the summer holidays you disconnect from technology to connect with your family.
Remember that you are the example of your children and if you spend the day looking at the screen of your mobile or tablet, what do you hope they will do in the future or even in the present? It is important that adults and more parents are aware of this sad reality so that they know how to put the brakes on this situation before it gets out of hand. The moments will not return to your life, so enjoy them to the fullest as a family: talk face to face, eat and dine without a mobile, share quality time with your children. They need you close and you need them to enjoy and be happy, put your phone in airplane mode!
