It is so easy when I'm on the phone to not realize how much time is ticked away.

Well, I've been talking or scrolling.

I just, there's something that happens.

Brain and time and phones, it just, it becomes kind of a mishmash.

I'm John Fuller, along with Dr. Danny

who leads our parenting team. And Danny, it's really clear to me that I have got to set a

good standard for using screens in the home. We've, we've had a child one time on the phone,

and I said, hey, it's nine, put it on the kitchen counter it's like why I said

because we don't use phones after nine and there was a little bait thing that went on like oh

I wish you would text my sibling about this because my phone's over there and I'm not supposed to

use it but you can use yours dad and I said no I can't use mine it's after nine I'm not going to do it. He was, he was trying to get you.

He wanted to see if I was going to do what I was making him do. It's critical for us. It's critical for us to pay attention, isn't it?

Oh, it is. It is. And the most common complaint from kids about parents' phone use time is while they're driving. That's number one.

So the kids are saying my parents are on the phone while they're driving? Yeah, just an appointment

or something comes up. I can steer with my knees. Fine. That's right. They're trying to manage

all those different things that are coming at them, and now we can be reached

on the phone.

And so that's a complaint that comes often.

Another one is dinner.

The parents get interrupted, and this is grandparents and parents.

I'm hearing this.

The kids are saying, well, they're on their phone.
