Just lock your phone in the glove compartment of your car

The number one piece of parenting advice that I give to parents, new parents, people who are expecting, is simple; when you take your kid to the park, and you want to play with them or hang out with them, just lock your phone in the glove compartment of your car. I think this is really the only way to be 100% present with your kid, to really enjoy your kid, and actually be fully present. I think people don’t understand that a phone, a smart phone, having an iPhone is like crack cocaine or heroin for the mind. Even for myself, my wisdom is knowing that I am not immune from these distractions, and so I treat myself like a deus tying himself to the mast and covering up his ears with beeswax; we must know that it is true; we will be tempted by the sirens.
