A few days ago I made a snap decision to take a "sabbatical" from online social networking at Ecademy. I've been very active there for the last three years, so it's a deeply-ingrained habit.
I told my kids this morning that I had given up Ecademy for a while, with the intention of having more time for them, and I hoped they would have more time for me too. Between us, we seen to default to screens (TV, computers) all too easily when we're feeling a little anxious or bored. They were pretty pleased.
It's no use me despairing that the kids spend too much time interacting with screens when I do precisely that myself. Lead by example! So I'm keeping this short ;)
