Richard Hogan: Can your family give up technology for two hours each evening?

The challenge this week is to give up your screen from 7pm-9pm

Richard Hogan: Between the hours of 7pm – 9pm this week, do something as a family. A family walk, board games, looking through family albums together, telling stories, whatever it is - do it as a family.

Last week I set you a challenge. Could you live without your phone for the weekend? 48 little hours without your device. 48 hours of being disconnected from the world, and connected to yourself and family. Disconnect to reconnect, that was the challenge. When your computer experiences a problem what do you do? Plug out, wait and turn back on again. 

The challenge was asking you to do the same thing, plug out for 48 hours and see how you feel. I did this challenge myself two weeks ago and I found it hard, but not impossible. My wife set me the challenge, and I accepted. I must say, I got onboard with her previous challenge five years ago, ‘Let’s go for a third child’, with more enthusiasm than this one, and it resulted in Sophie Hogan.
