'Children are seeking approval', said Ned Rocknroll.

She's right of course, but suggesting kids climb trees and play I-spy and Monopoly just isn't gonna work.

I agree with her, although our daughters found out for themselves that Facebook is not the be-all-and-end-all. The eldest daughter had to open an account to get her homework assignments at university, but has given false personal information and never posts on it. The youngest daughter deleted her account about a year ago.

We have a no-device policy for eating at the table and we regularly play card games or board games - although that is mainly my wife and I, the kids aren't so interested, they prefer to take the dog for a walk.
