My husband and I have been pretty adamant about not having a phone or i-pad at the table and I don’t frown on people who do because sometimes there’s a time and a place and you just want quiet but we try hard not to do that. There are times we've got it out a few times but that’s been hard.
"We also try to sit down at dinner time but again, most of the time I’ve got the TV on in the kitchen because i’m trying to tidy, feed the dogs and put the washing on because everyone’s been out and busy. So at home the TV’s always on in the background but if we’re going out or sitting all down together at the table which is quite rare sometimes in the week, we try not to have screen time and try to get them out and about.
"They’re going through that phase of climbing on everything and we make dens. If you got them to eat their dinner, albeit with the TV on in the background it’s a win!
