Thís post put a smile on my face so thank you and congrats. I bought an alarm clock so I can turn my phone off in the evening and leave it off in the morning. It’s been great. I also turn it off during the day for at least an hour. These two things help me feel less connected to it and I use it far less as a result. It feels great, doesn’t it?
Let them experience unstructured time without distractions. In other words: boredom, but with things like comics, toys or a basketball within reach. They start off complaining of boredom and end up immersed in something if the right options exist. That helps them master low-stimulation (normal) environments and learn to regulate their nervous systems to tolerate normality.
