This Family Day, February 18, Canada’s leading resource for all things Parenting, Parenting Power, is encouraging people to put away their smartphones for the day and instead, spend quality time with their families. #NoPhoneFamilyDay, now in its third year, is a one-day movement in which families unplug and spend more quality time with each other without the constant distraction of a handheld device. #NoPhoneFamilyDay aims to improve family ties, help parents set clear intentions about their technology use, and plant the seeds for year-round reduction of technology dependence. Countless studies have proven the importance of reduced screen time and increased person-to-person contact - this occasion serves as a reminder to take a break from the phone to focus on family.
