Dr. Leanard Sax has had a lasting impact on my family. After reading Boy’s Adrift I hunted down and destroyed every plastic bottle in the house. His books and ideas provide a counter-narrative to parenting in the 21st century. I recently finished reading his book, The Collapse of Parenting, and have decided to try an experiment for the month of November.

For everyone in the house

All electronics/wifi off by 8 pm
No Social Media(Including LinkedIn)
Dinner together(at least three times)
Phones all go into a Quarantine zone when home.

I have already told the family about this and they are all staying quiet in hopes that I forget..I’ve set a reminder :) I will track the daily habits using the the Habit loop app on android.

Let’s do this together…
