The Dangers of Distracted Parenting (theatlantic.com)

I believe (hope) I haven't been the most distracted parent - I banned all news apps and facebook, twitter etc. from my smartphone long ago.

Three weeks ago I broke my iPhones screen on a Friday, and we did go on a family trip over the weekend, so I had to go without a smartphone. It was great, I felt more connected to my 2-year old son, but also to my wife.

After that experience, I've purchased a dumbphone. Yes, I really do miss some utility apps, but overall I'd say it has improved my life.
