@ezra.pauses: Parental phubbing is the act of snubbing your child by paying attention to your phone instead. The word is phone plus snubbing, coined by researchers in 2016. Your child is reaching for your attention with a story, a question, a moment they want to share, and you respond by glancing at your phone. The bid for attention dissolves. The child notices. A 2025 Pew survey found 66 percent of parents 18 to 49 say their own phone use is too much, while 86 percent say making sure their child's screen time is reasonable is a daily priority. Recognition is not the missing piece. Structure is. Pause Moment locks YOUR phone, not your kid's. Set the windows that matter, dinner, bedtime, school pickup. At 6:00 PM your phone locks for 10 minutes. The screen shows your photo and your written words. Outside those windows, the phone is fully available.
