Here’s a startling statistic:

The average iPhone screen time for an adult in the United States is around seven hours each day. But the average amount of time a parent spends with their child is only about two hours a day.

Here are some screen-free ideas for connecting with your son today.

Make banana splits with your boy. Build a lego garage for his cars. Campout in the living room. Have him help you make a family photo album. Find a nontraditional holiday online, and celebrate it together. Turn on some music, and find different things around the house to drum on.

Whatever it is, put your phone down and spend some quality time with your son today. You will both enjoy the benefits.
