How do parents get rid of devices (both theirs and their kids') these days? It seems like any outing with the kids, as beautifully planned, is us watching them or even ourselves consumed with the iPhone or iPad. How do you have time without it being a hinderance?

It's not that easy to completely get rid of your devices, but if parents start it with themselves and especially when the entire family is together at home or on outings, should have their phones on silent and kept away and just check later after spending good 4-5 hours together. I have tried it a couple of times and worked well for me.
