Preserving social interactions at home: No cell phones.
For now, I am lucky that my two daughters don't have a mobile phone. We decided that the two are still too young to have access to one device like that. The oldest one is 7 years old, and they should be around their teens to get one. But something that me and my wife both know is that we overuse the cellphone too much. There is a necessity to balance more, especially to give a good example to kids. It is challenging but a cell phone ban is necessary.

I already saw some ideas online in videos showing families dropping cell phones in a box when they are hanging out together. It isn't a terrible idea, but I guess we can leave cell phones in our pockets or over the table at home. It is a topic that comes around especially when there is a question about something when we are chatting, and the cell phone is my resource for finding the answers, such as weather forecasts or even about a place that we want to visit. However, lately, I have been saying that later I will check for these answers.
Cell phones right now have a lot of different functions, so many functions that currently I don't use my TV. Since both my wife and I have our taste for watching TV shows, we watch many TV shows separately on our phones. But still, we need to watch some movies together to not lose the connection. For example, we started watching "The Idea of You" which for sure isn't the first thing that I would watch, I am not the biggest fan of romantic comedies. It is a story of a romance between a 40-year-old divorced mother of a teenager and a young boy band singer. It isn't the worst thing but it is good to make this connection once in a while, my animes that I like to watch can wait a bit.
Cell phones in the pocket during our family gatherings are important since my wife is pretty attached to her WhatsApp groups, and I am to Hive blogs plus Discord (also mostly to chat about Hive). So we both tend to keep getting the cell phone to see if something is new in our feeds or chats. But I think in front of the kids at least during meals and other interactions we are doing good. And we only take the phone when the kids are playing without us. Of course, once in a while my oldest tells one of us to quit the phone, it is difficult. Grocery lists, cooking recipes, everything is on our phones so sometimes house tasks need our phones even if we aren't using any social media.

Smartphones brought many possibilities to us, but we need to be cautious. We want to be a good example for our kids because we don't want them to get addicted to phones and forget us. So we keep trying to forget cell phones in front of them. Maybe when they get their phones, I will think again about the idea of the phone box to store everyone's phone.


Por enquanto, tenho sorte de que minhas duas filhas não tenham um celular. Decidimos que as duas ainda são muito novas para ter acesso a um dispositivo assim. A mais velha tem 7 anos e elas deveriam ter por volta da adolescência para ganhar um. Mas algo que eu e minha esposa sabemos é que usamos demais o celular. Há uma necessidade de equilibrar mais, especialmente para dar um bom exemplo às crianças. É desafiador, mas uma proibição de celular é necessária.

Já vi algumas ideias online em vídeos mostrando famílias deixando os celulares em uma caixa quando estão juntas. Não é uma ideia terrível, mas acho que podemos deixar os celulares nos bolsos ou sobre a mesa em casa. É um tópico que surge especialmente quando há uma pergunta sobre algo enquanto estamos conversando, e o celular é meu recurso para encontrar as respostas, como previsões do tempo ou até mesmo sobre um lugar que queremos visitar. No entanto, ultimamente, tenho dito que depois vou verificar essas respostas.
Os celulares atualmente têm muitas funções diferentes, tantas funções que atualmente não uso minha TV. Como minha esposa e eu temos nosso gosto por assistir a programas de TV, assistimos muitos programas de TV separadamente em nossos celulares. Mas ainda assim, precisamos assistir a alguns filmes juntos para não perder a conexão. Por exemplo, começamos a assistir "The Idea of You", que com certeza não é a primeira coisa que eu assistiria, não sou o maior fã de comédias românticas. É uma história de romance entre uma mãe divorciada de 40 anos de um adolescente e um jovem cantor de uma boy band. Não é a pior coisa, mas é bom fazer essa conexão de vez em quando, meus animes que gosto de assistir podem esperar um pouco.
Os celulares no bolso durante nossos encontros familiares são importantes, já que minha esposa é bastante ligada aos grupos do WhatsApp dela, e eu ao blogs do Hive e ao Discord (também principalmente para conversar sobre o Hive). Então, ambos tendemos a pegar o celular para ver se há algo novo em nossos feeds ou chats. Mas acho que na frente das crianças, pelo menos durante as refeições e outras interações, estamos indo bem. E só pegamos o telefone quando as crianças estão brincando sem nós. Claro, de vez em quando, minha mais velha diz a um de nós para largar o telefone, é difícil. Listas de compras, receitas de culinária, tudo está em nossos celulares, então às vezes as tarefas domésticas precisam dos nossos celulares, mesmo que não estejamos usando nenhuma rede social.

Os smartphones trouxeram muitas possibilidades para nós, mas precisamos ser cautelosos. Queremos ser um bom exemplo para nossos filhos porque não queremos que eles fiquem viciados em telefones e se esqueçam de nós. Então, continuamos tentando deixar os celulares de lado na frente deles. Talvez, quando eles ganharem seus celulares, eu pense novamente sobre a ideia da caixa de telefone para guardar o celular de todos.

I’m sure some people will feel that you not buying phone for your kids is an act of stinginess but it is one of the best ways in which you are helping them.
Kids ruin so many kids cos most of them don’t even check things that are beneficial to them…
It happened the same when we decided not to give any sugar derivates for them (candies, soda etc) until they reached 2 years old hehehe. Kids need to receive the world slowly to understand the harm that these "attractive things" can cause you.
Cell phone is a tool, like any other. The family and the school policy define children's attitude towards anything, including phones. Restricting smartphones could backfire, just like candy restrictions. Anyways, you likely know :)
Yes, with candy policies we already have been dealing with! I guess the important thing is how to use with moderation. So we teach them that candies are yummy but we can't eat every day, this way in the future at least they know by themselves how to be moderated with that. So it will be something similar with cellphones, alcohol, and so on!
Oh, wait! I'm a Czech - here's an alcohol policy applied to my children once I have any.: I will supply them with good beer and equip with a Spanish saying by my girlfriend: Vino y cerveza, dolor de cabeza. Cerveza y vino, pedo divino. I assume you can understand, given that half of your post is in Portuguese ;)
You cannot prevent Brazilian kids attending a carnivale, Spanish kids beeing loud and Czech kids sampling beers. Yet you can moderate it ;)

Boa escolha a sua, eu acredito que quanto mais tarde uma pessoa começar a ter um celular, melhor é. Meu filho tem 12 anos e se eu deixar, fica o tempo todo no celular ou computador. Foi a pouco tempo que ele teve seu celular, mas se eu tivesse ideia, teria adiado mais. Sorte a minha que ele é um bom menino e se eu falo pra ele deixar o celular de lado, ele deixa.
o importante 'e ensinar que tem momento para tudo acho...nao tem como proibir de vez ne? Acho que tudo depende do lugar, fomos agora no Brasil e 'e anormal ver crian'cas da idade da minha mais velha sem celular. Ja aqui no Canada 'e mais normal. As vezes a gente vai com a cultura do lugar e acaba se ferrando!
De fato! A hora deles terem o celular vai chegar, mas quanto mais cedo é pior. Mas essa é filosofia que tento passar pra ele, de que existe tempo certo para tudo e que o celular não deve ser usado o tempo todo.

Minha menina de 7 anos vira e mexe está no celular e o meu filho que tem 12 anos hoje, começou a mexer com uns 9 eu acho, meio que está assim. Apesar deles gostarem bastante, eu tento sempre pedir para que em um programa familiar, um almoço ou jantar, que deixem de lado para aproveitarmos o momento.
Eu não proíbo, mas peço com jeitinho para que eles entendam como este momento é especial para todos nós!

Têm esses pontos também, muito bem lembrado, eu sempre exijo que eles estudem e façam suas tarefas corretamente também ou pelo menos tentem fazer. Depois de feito podem brincar a vontade no celular ou fazer qualquer outra coisa.

I was once embarrassed by my second son of 6 year old. He said mom, can you please stop making hive and eat ur food?🤦...it was dinner time and I kept hearing notification sounds left and right..I couldn't overlook it but shifted attention to my phone.. really, his statement pierced through my heart and I took correction immediately. There's time for everything and family time brings more connections and nothing should interfere
Getting ur kids phone at teenage age sounds better
Yes I feel you I had some moments similar like this!
You have to be careful with social media and kids, it's a very dangerous place and they shouldn't be exposed to it until they are mature enough to handle it. Cell phones for kids become almost a necessity around middle school so they can contact you in emergency or you them. But the last thing you need is for the whole family on their phones 24/7, and I've seen families like that, it's not healthy!

wow these ones my kid are totally out! hehe my oldest has an amazon fire, but only for some games and netflix...even youtube I am very careful with that.
About the families on phones in sad...and I try my best for that not happenening.
No doubt that smartphones are very necessary for us but I think it create negative impact in case of the interaction among family members. I also think it should be avoided in family gathering. It's good that you didn't give smartphone to your kids till now.

correct! I am trying my best for that!
