I wonder why you committed to this course? Was it because you felt like your tech habits were a little out of control? Was it because your relationships were suffering? Or maybe your sleep?

When I interviewed Kristy Goodwin on Tech Habits, she mentioned that OUR phone habits were affecting our kids.

And I thought about this insight in the context of food. I thought about how I’m attempting to establish a balanced food culture at home. That Nick and I take the idea of creating healthy foundations for our kids seriously when it comes to food. And we do it largely through modelling — we show them what healthy is by eating mostly wholefoods ourselves.

I definitely could not say the same about my tech habits.

But the thing is, they're just as important. After all, just as my kids will eat every day of their lives, they’ll most likely use technology every day too — especially when they get a little older.

But I needed to get in control of my habits before I could expect my kids to start building their own good habits.

Otherwise it’d be like serving up a sprout salad for them, while us grown ups sit down to fried chips and hotdogs… we can all imagine how well that would work!

So this week in the program? We’re focusing on getting serious about doing this for our kids — and for the good of all of our relationships, really.
