Put your phone in another room or away from you with the ringer on. Start with small amounts of time, like leave it in your room when you wake up in the morning to use the restroom and get the little one up, and work your way up to longer stretches. Cold turkey isn’t for everyone. Also playing music instead of a show on the TV helps a lot too.

I'm having such a hard time with this too.... But like my parents did it so there is no reason I and

I decided that phone needed a house so it's in the kitchen in a stand and I only use it in the kitchen for when necessary. If I take it with me it's over.

Before I had my second baby I found myself bored a lot and reaching for my phone so I would try to keep us both entertained and our schedules full. I liked to go to classes like Gymboree, baby music programs, storytime at the library, or just get up and go outside (if you can) for chalk or bubbles or walks.. if you try to stay busy you’ll end up forgetting about where your phone is even at!

ugh. this is me. is there an app to track phone pick ups?

I am also having a big issue with that I'm seriously considering having my husband put parental control on screen time
