We can’t ask our kids to not be receptive for social approval – stop being picture perfect on the unsocial media – if we are.
We can’t ask our kids not to ask for our smartphones continuously, if we use them all day.
We can’t ask our kids to watch TV because we want to use our smartphone for half an hour.
If we want our kids not to be craving all those mini-dopamine shots – just like gamblers, alcoholics and drug addicts – we need to go first.
We need to deal with our addiction.
We must set the example.
They will follow.
