Present Parent helps you break the habit of constantly checking your phone during family time.
The number of times an average parent checks their phone each day is 96 times.
A brief, intentional pause is enough to break your habit loop. Most impulses don't survive a 30-second wait.
When parents use their phones nearby, children show immediate signs of emotional distress - increased fussiness, withdrawal, and attention-seeking behaviours.
Of all parenting behaviours studied, the only one consistently linked to lower child emotional intelligence was using a phone around them.
