Months ago, we removed screen time from our kids. Why? Because my precious babies were acting like demogorgons. And Mama don't play.

We'd only allowed an hour a day, but still, the screens apparently muted their creativity, caused grumpiness, fighting and whining. I was not into it. So, we pulled the plug, literally.

They protested for a hot minute and then we all moved on. I could not believe how easy it was. Seriously, it was like I had my kids back.

I watched my kids go from screen-dependent to cooperatively playing, creating and even making their own 'school.' I couldn't believe how easy it was.

Certainly, technology can be useful in its right place...but after a quick assessment of my babies' behavior, I knew we needed a technology overhaul.

A few Saturdays into our screen detox, my kids woke up one by one and saw my husband and I reading in bed. They grabbed their own books and joined us. At restaurants they bring a stack of books instead of propped ipads. My daughter has grown five reading levels in seven months.

I can't recommend a family screen overhaul enough."
