The Ultimate Father's Day Gift: Your Undivided Attention


Make it a day to remember with a break from technological distractions. He’s always there for you but are you ready to be there for him?  When thinking of gifts for Father’s Day, families tend to gravitate to the familiar – socks and ties, BBQ tools, golf clubs or if he’s lucky, concert tickets or the latest electronic gadget.  Sure, dad will thank you for these gifts and he’ll probably even enjoy them.  But why not shake things up this year and give him something totally unexpected - the gift of you, in-person and tech-free!

Foresters, an international financial services provider committed to family well-being, is challenging families to take a Tech Timeout this Father’s Day.  Turn off the smartphones, unplug the television, put away the video games and ‘disconnect to reconnect’ with dad.  Get outside, go for a walk or hike, play a board game or let dad choose the activity, as long as it’s tech-free.
                                   
The Tech Timeout challenge encourages families to take a daily scheduled one-hour break from their electronic devices and reconnect with each other in a more personal way. Families can sign the Tech Timeout pledge wall to accept the challenge at TechTimeout.com.
