Digital detox

Here are some tips from experts on digital detoxing to help your family unplug:

Don't go cold turkey. Cold turkey almost always fails. Ease off the technology gradually. Limit yourself to checking email three times a day, instead of every 10 minutes. Check Facebook once in the morning and once in the evening, not every hour. Small steps equate to progress.

Set new ground rules at the family dinner table. Turn off the TV. Silence all phones and cellphones. Shut off all laptops and devices. Focus only on one another and spending quality time.
