Detox Success Tips
- Put devices in a designated "parking" spot
- Plan activities and prepare materials in advance
- Adults participate fully—lead by example
- Start small and build up gradually
Boredom Is Part of the Process
Kids (and adults) may feel restless at first—this is normal. Boredom actually sparks creativity. Have backup activities ready, but don't rush to fill every moment. Some of the best family memories come from unstructured time together.
