We’ve been talking about the benefits of dinnertime for years. Psychiatrists have proof dinnertime 4 nights a week helps kids grow up to be more focused. So, why is it so hard for parents to keep this ritual alive? Here’s some help. This DinnerTime Plus app reminds your kids that it’s dinnertime by locking them out of the device that they are using until the meal is over. In my day we weren’t allowed to answer the phone during dinner. That was the only possible distraction. These days phones do SO much more than just ring. I can’t imagine what the pavlovian effect is on kids when they are not able to answer all the dings, dongs, beeps and bings from their phone during dinner. Cheers to forced focus.
