Family First: Embracing the Joy of Phone-Free Moments

Family comes first in everything we do, we must learn how to value and create time for our family, the happiness of our family should be our utmost priority, family deserves a proper time, a time to be remembered for good, a time to leave everything aside and focus on all the enjoyment we can talk about.

In my opinion, I would say there should be a ban on phones when it comes to family outings, having time for each other is what is expected of us, so why should we be busy with phones when we are with our family, family is more enough than the phone.

Since we have dedicated the time to spend with the family then the phone should be banned for that moment, nothing should come as a distraction during that period, family time with family will make them express their feelings genuinely, and it will make them voice out what has been bothering them for ages but when phone set in as distraction then it will not give them the chance to express themselves.

There was a time when my brother and I went out to have a family hangout, I was there with my phone but I kept it in my bag, we started chatting and talking about what was going on with each other, and the conversation got deeper and my brother started sharing his difficult time with me, I was shocked because I never knew my brother was going through a lot and we are living in the same apartment.

I was able to know everything because I gave him a listening ear, and we sat down and discussed the way forward, let's assume I was pressing my phone that day he wouldn't have had the chance to talk to me the way he did that day and I realized that two heads are better than one.

I'm someone who loves attention, I hate it when I do not get all the attention I deserve, I can never go on a date or outing with anyone and be pressing my phone not to talk of my family, I know we will have a lot to discuss about because we live miles away from each other and seeing them or getting to spend more time with them will be fun and I can never jeopardize that moment with pressing my phone. It is a moment to connect and bond like never before.

I will suggest banning of phone when it comes to something like this because it a a moment that we need to bond and get all the gists that we have missed, getting to know how my family are fairing and what is going on with their lives will be a nice time, family outing keeps the bond between us stronger and it will never be nice if anyone will get distracted by phone, in my own case I would love to keep my phone away for that moment and spend quality time with my family because I do not know when next I can get the opportunity to have an outing with all of them.

In place of phone, it is better to get a camera and let the moment be memorable by taking pictures of every moment, this will also serves as a better way of keeping records of everything that happens in the outing.

This is my entry for this week's episode of hivelearners community prompt of #hl-w113e1 which the topic is "FAMILY TIME, NO PHONE"
