SowMyAnayan Sampath, Executive Vice President and Executive Director of “There is absolutely no struggle” between the leadership of the digital telecommunications company, while encouraging people to put their phones aside.

Of course, it is not against mobile phone technology:

However, it is He tries to avoid being on the phone in front of his children. He is the father of Olbin, and he has always looked at technology as a strong and positive power. When his 12 and 15 -year -old children received approximately phones about 10 years, that was primarily for practical reasons, allowing them to coordinate with their parents because they became more independent.

However, while he recognizes the benefits of smartphones in knowledge, communication, safety and entertainment, he also deliberates in ensuring that he does not dominate the lives of his children.

Sambath and his wife have created clear instructions for using the phone, focusing on balance rather than explicit restrictions. For example, social media was banned until boys reached 13 years, and the time free of the phone is encouraged to save space for alternative activities.

To make the SAMPATH disposal chapter more attractive, Sampath guarantees that the time is not connected to the Internet, whether by watching football together, going to ice cream, or simply walking.

Two bases of the strict family reinforce this mentality: there are no phones on the kitchen table during meals and there are no phones in the bedroom at night. Initially, phones had to be placed on the table during meals, but over time, his sons absorbed the base.

Likewise, after noticing the extent of the phone late at night on their sleep, the family now receives its devices outside the bedroom-including parents, and they also believe in putting an example.

On weekends, Sampath follows a more deliberate approach. He avoids examining his phone until noon, and gives priority to time without interruption with his family. As president of a global company, he trusted that his team will reach him if a major case arises.

To help their children develop healthy phone habits, the family uses Verizon The application of the family, which allows them to monitor use without imposing strict time limits. Instead of imposing arbitrary restrictions, sampath prefers to direct its children towards self -organization. If they spend excessive time on their phones, it encourages alternative activities by displaying screen time data for them.

While the family embraces video calls to stay in contact with the extended relatives, Sampath also admits that phones sometimes serve as a necessary escape in the particular or particularly crowded days.

It was a coincidence, it was Sambath that announced VerizonA series of initiatives aimed at enhancing digital habits at the beginning of March and encouraged children “To put phones from time to time.”
