If a stranger walked into your house and watched your family for one hour… would they say everyone is living together or living apart on separate screens?
In this episode of the Broken Traditions Podcast, Leron Gaskins unpacks how the overconsumption of digital devices is quietly reshaping your home—your kids, your relationship, and the emotional temperature of your entire household.
Inside this conversation, you'll hear:
Why just having your phone on the table tells your family they're not the most important thing
How phones are replacing parent–child interaction and creating "digital juvie"
Three powerful ways screen addiction is harming kids' communication skills, school performance, and mental health
How couples are becoming strangers in the same bed while scrolling different algorithms
Why your home feels more irritated, impatient, and disconnected—and how it's tied to dopamine spikes and digital overload
Practical solutions: charging station rules, one-phone outings, board games, walks, cooking together, and leading by example
Leron also shares how his own family routines—Saturday cleaning sessions with vinyl on the turntable, phone-free bonding, and intentional structure—help keep digital incarceration from taking over their home.
