When family digital detox creates more conflict than connection

My teenager keeps asking when our family digital detox will be over and my husband thinks we should extend it but I'm exhausted from being the screen police and everyone seems more irritable without their devices. We thought this would bring us closer together but instead we're all just counting down the days and I don't know if pushing through teaches discipline or just breeds resentment.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family's attempt to limit technology has revealed different tolerance levels and created new forms of tension rather than the intended harmony.
