Its time to bond. No phones

Most people have been sooo addicted to their phones that they can not go a minute without their phones or any other gadget. This is gradually eating up the mentality of younglings. It is said that there are two agents of socialization - family being primary then school which is secondary. This however can be argued in today's society as social media is becoming another agent of socialization as it is constantly moulding a person into what they see online.

Speak of family. Family on the other hand is the realest thing a person will ever have on earth. The rest are just genjutsu that will fade away when tough times comes to play. Though some people do not understand the importance of family until trouble hits just like how Nagato hit the hidden leaf village. Shinran tensei. Point? Family nowadays is more or less underated by some persons until trouble hits and the friends we kept turns against us or leave us.

One of the most important times in life is when we are together with family. Hanging out having fun or in a family reunion.

Due to the impact of social media in todays society, most people tend to be on their phones during such important moment. Tsk, such a drag. They will be cut off from reality and be in another dimension. This is not right because this is the time to associate with family, get to know them more and explore many things about your family member.

Personally, I am not the type that supports the use of gadgets (not only phone) during family time. Be it breakfast, dinner, family hangout, reunion or even vacation. The use of phone, for me is prohibited because I see this time as a time to spend quality time with family. Its like pressing your phone while doing the naughty with your spouse. Who does that? I am actually ready to seize any phone I see on the dining table or anywhere that is supposed to be exclusively for family.

Banning the phone may or may not have a good impact to the familys boding but it is actually worth the try. Stubborn children may decide not to say anything or even interact during family time while some other children will want to interact wether or not the use of gadgets is not allowed.
Based on this, I think banning of phones should be based on the qualities exhibited by children. And oh, this doesn't apply to children only as adults also portray such attitude. However, an adult will understand the reason behind banning a gadget but children may more or less not understand.

To improve the bonding between family, it is necessary to ban the use of gadgets during family time as explained above. Also, other methods of improving family bonding should be explored so as to strengthen good relationships between siblings and parents.

The major thing that is stopping me from implementing this in my family is that I am not yet married and I do not have a family of my own. My parent tried their best to execute this and it worked to a very good extent.

When I get my own family, there are many policies that I have set out to guide them. Lots of it. I plan to start at an early age to teach them all these things so that it will not depart from them when they grow up.

Lol pressing phone while doing the naughty! 😂 Who does that really?!
Well, I guess a lot of us will agree that phones shouldn't be used during family time.

But don't we just agree and our reality says otherwise? Hopefully, we will get to see more importances in family timing than using our phones away.

Despite all these, phones are very important devices. What families just needs is to set boundaries.
Though, phone is like virus and must be handled with ao much care to arrest destruction or seclusion during family gatherings.

If we are using mobile phones in our family setting then we are not living the real life..I agree that during family gathering, picnic, breakfast or at any other family time, we should keep our mobiles away from us and should be in the moment.

At times I think the simple question we have to ask each other is if we really bond without the phones? For some people this is a controversial take but not for some.

Speak of family. Family on the other hand is the realest thing a person will ever have on earth. The rest are just genjutsu that will fade away when tough times comes to play.

true true, I think most people know this which is why they don't take family so seriously. They know that when they are in deep shit their families will have no option but to come in and save them because they are family. So instead of playing with them why not be by them all the time?

Stubborn children may decide not to say anything or even interact during family time while some other children will want to interact wether or not the use of gadgets is not allowed

Well even the stubborn one will eventually break as the child will be forced to talk to people if he or she has no phone to press.

I think the first step is to implement the rule and then we'll be ok.

You're very much right.

When you know that something will be given to you in a platter of gold, you tend not to put in efforts to get that thing. Instead the feeling of entitlement arises. Well, I guess it can't be helped, family will always remain family no matter what. They will always show that kindness to its members.

Different strokes for different folks. The memories of the family time together need to be captured for future reference and that's where phones or cameras come in handy to capture images.

This phone thing gets irritating. I was once on a date and baba was so glued to the phone. I sha waited for the food sha, I told them to pack it take away. He kept saying babe what's wrong as I excused myself to leave. I just told him nothing dear, your phone can have you.

It's quite disrespectful to be glued to your phone while you have company. It is also disrespectful to be with your phone when you are having family time.

People really need to do better. Your parents will be talking to you and you will be pressing phone. Let nobody try it with me sha, I dey quick vex lol.

Phone has become an inseparable companion to a large extent. It has eaten deep into interpersonal relationships. It is good if one's interaction with phone can be put under control during family time. Operation one's phone in some instances is tantamount to disrespect.

Very correct.

Phone has affected the society to a very large extent. You see people walking on the road and pressing phone. Ask what they are pressing and you'll see a stupid thing that makes no sense
