I brought our kids into the conversation. What they brought up was eye-opening and really helpful. Screens weren't a problem for just the kids.
They were confused by... the fact that we essentially had no rules around our screen use, and they were also frustrated that sometimes they wanted our full attention but couldn't get it.
Most surprising, perhaps, was that they were very open to hearing our advice on how to handle screen time better, and they brought some great solutions to the table.
My partner and I often used our phones for things like answering Slack messages or texting people about all the life things that come up, but that wasn't clear to our kids.
