They teach them to be indistractable
That’s according to Stanford psychology expert Nir Eyal and 
author of Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and 
Choose Your Life. He says that in spite of the ubiquitous nature of 
digital distraction, becoming “indistractable” is the most important 
skill people will need in the future. Yet, it’s also one that many 
parents don’t teach their kids. The key, he insists, is that parents 
teach kids why limiting screen time is important and then give 
them the autonomy to set their own limits.

THE IMPORTANT 
THING IS TO 
INFORM KIDS 
ABOUT WHY 
LIMITING 
SCREEN TIME 
IS IMPORTANT, 
AND THEN 
LETTING THEM 
CHOOSE THEIR 
OWN LIMITS. 
In the case of his own daughter, when she was young he and his 
wife sat her down and explained that the time she spent using the 
iPad meant less time doing other fun things like spending time 
with friends or going to the community pool. 
They then explained that the people who make the apps and 
videos she liked so much were designed so that she would want to 
spend a lot of time looking at a screen. Next, they asked her how 
much iPad time she thought she needed every day and instead of 
saying “all day,” she offered “two shows.”
The important thing is to inform kids about why limiting screen 
time is important, and then letting them choose their own limits. 
Now, as an older child, Eyal’s daughter asks Amazon’s Alexa to set 
timers to remind her when to get off her screen. “The important 
thing is that these are her rules, not ours, and that she’s in charge 
of enforcing them,” he writes. “Best of all, when her time is up, it’s 
not her dad who has to be the bad guy; it’s her device telling her 
she’s had enough.”
