Hi, I'm Andrea! We are a homeschooling family with three girls under the age of 5.

‍

Do you have a moment when you realized your phone was getting in the way of what’s important to you?

When our children would ask us to put it down to look at what they were doing and when our children were playing, and both of us were on our phones.

What attracted you to Aro?

I loved that it gave a designated place with challenges to put the phone away. Before, when I would try to stay off my phone, I would find any reason to pick it back up, and then it wouldn’t get put away again. Friendly competition between my husband and me is also a great incentive.

What is the greatest piece of advice you have ever received?

I’m not sure the absolute greatest, but one of them was “Your children’s future habits are going to be learned from watching you.” This includes your relationship with your phone.

What’s your favorite book?

M is for Mama

What are some of your favorite activities to do when you do put down your phone?

Fully engage with my children. I am able to take in the little things about them and their personality that usually I would miss.
