TechDetox Box makes a parent-enforced digital detox possible
TechDetox Box complements existing screen time management solutions:
- Parental controls address the problem of what’s available ON the screen
- TechDetox Box keeps the screen OUT of kids’ hands altogether
What Is The Problem?
- Smartphone addiction among kids and teens is an epidemic
- It deprives kids of their childhood and compromises their development
- The brain reacts to screens the same way as it reacts to drugs
- Children cannot resist digital media designed to be addictive
- Most parents have to take the phone away at some point. Now what?
- If the phone is locked up, kids have no reason to look for it
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:
- Limit children’s screen time
- Media-free zones (no tech in the bedrooms)
- Media-free times (no tech at mealtimes)
- Charge phones in a central location
How Does It Work: The Science of Behavior Design
- User engagement depends on the presence of the screen
- A phone in plain view distracts the child from all other human activity
- A notification is a prompt to grab the phone, and be sucked into it
- When we remove the cue (phone) from the environment, we disrupt the interface of addiction designed to hijack our kids
- TechDetox Box serves as a commitment device that makes doing the right thing easy: stealing screen time is no longer an option
- Self-control is a limited resource, especially for children
- No Phone = No Temptation. The cookie jar is locked.
