Before you can start this process with your children you must first break your addiction to technology otherwise you are a hypocrite and the child will think you are punishing them for being just like you. Don't be weak and stand up for your family.
1. Technology is a tool. Help your children understand that technology can be a great tool for work, learning and connecting. However it should not be for socializing and constantly escaping.
2. As a parent you should fear their future dependency on technology more than you enjoy the convenience it brings to your life. Children are losing their childhood quicker now than ever. When you allow a child access to the internet through phones and video games, you have lost the majority of your control what they will see and hear.
3. Spend time with your children and teach them social interaction. Our children need to see interaction with people as positive. A Childs cell phone should not be their only positive interaction with other people.
