The article recounts a parent's realization after being scolded by their daughter for being distracted on their phone. This moment prompted a reflection on the importance of being present, especially around children. Parenting coach Fadekemi Adeniyi emphasizes the necessity for parents to limit phone use during critical interactions, such as when a child wakes up or before separations. She highlights how these moments can shape a child's self-image and confidence, urging parents to engage completely without the distraction of screens.
"Number one, when your child wakes up in the morning. When you're seeing your child for the first time in the morning, drop your phone ... Let your eyes light up."
"When you're getting separated. Maybe they're going to school and or maybe you're dropping them off at school. Drop your phone."
