In this brief excerpt from the interview between Lewis Howes and John Delony, the hosts discuss the challenges families face with device usage. Lewis asks how parents and children are struggling with screens, and John notes that the conversation around devices often becomes a distraction, suggesting that the real issue lies deeper in family dynamics. The segment highlights the prevalence of screen time, the tendency to focus on devices rather than underlying relational problems, and the need to shift the dialogue toward more substantive family conversations.

How have you seen with the parents you're working with and maybe their children? How have you seen the struggles of parents and kids with the use of devices? What have you seen that's been the biggest struggle with that, with the family dynamic? Parents and kids.
On screen so much. I think the device conversation has actually become a distraction.
What's the real conversation?
Kids absorb tension in their home. Kids understand that mom and dad would rather scroll than talk to them. They would rather stare at their phones at the Little League game instead of cheering them on. Connected parent will win almost every time, but kids know when you'd rather be doing something else.
