The Allen household is pretty geeky, but as it turns out, not much geekier than most that have kids that have grown up online.

We’ve traditionally done pretty well at keeping screen time limited, but as the kids grow up the addictive qualities of the apps we all use suck us in, and, it’s not just the kids it’s us too.

Households really do run best when everyone is helping out, and I’m the worst at getting distracted. I can always be “working” especially when being engaged on social media can easily be classified as working.

We felt hypocritical telling the kids to put their phones down and focus, so we decided to solve the problem.

Enter detoxbox.io

It’s a straight forward solutions to make sure that screens are out of mind for a while, especially overnight when charging.

We find leading from the front helps, and we put ours in too.

It’s designed to allow charging to happen whilst keeping the distractions locked away.

Also, the kids bring us a cup of tea in bed on the weekend and then ask for the keys. Winning! ☕️
