Digital Smarts - DinnerTime
You are here
Can’t get the family to put their gadgets down long enough to have a quiet meal together? Try DinnerTime (free on iOS and Android). The app is designed to be installed on both parents' and kids' smartphones. When Mom or Dad have the evening meal ready, all they have to do is activate the DinnerTime app and the youngsters' gadgets will not only tell them dinner is ready, but will activate a lockdown timer so smartphone distractions are eliminated during mealtime. As an added bonus, the app has bedtime and "take a break" features that keep phones quiet during sleep hours and whenever you feel like your kids are experiencing screen time overload.
