Hi, everyone. I'm a nurse in Lagos, and I live with my husband and our two teenage kids. We often argue about phones at home, so I decided to collect some data. For one week, we all checked the screen-time numbers on our phones every night.

01My Family's Screen Time
Hi, everyone. I'm a nurse in Lagos, and I live with my husband and our two teenage kids. We often argue about phones at home, so I decided to collect some data. For one week, we all checked the screen-time numbers on our phones every night.
皆さん、こんにちは。私はラゴスの看護師で、夫と10代の子ども二人と暮らしています。家ではよくスマホのことでけんかになるので、データを集めてみることにしました。1週間、家族全員が毎晩、スマホのスクリーンタイムの数字を確かめました。
02How I Did It
Here's how it worked. Each night, everyone told me their total phone time for the day. I only counted phones, not TVs or laptops for work or school. This is just my family, so it's a very small study.
やり方はこうです。毎晩、全員がその日のスマホの合計時間を私に教えます。数えたのはスマホだけで、テレビや、仕事・学校用のパソコンは入れていません。これは私の家族だけの、とても小さな調べものです。
03The Results
Here are the daily averages. My daughter used her phone about five hours a day, my son about four, my husband about three, and me, about two and a half hours.
1日の平均はこうでした。娘は1日に約5時間、息子は約4時間、夫は約3時間、そして私は約2時間半スマホを使っていました。

04What Surprised Me
What surprised me was that the adults weren't far behind. I expected the kids to be much higher. My husband and I complain about the kids' phones, but we use ours a lot too.
驚いたのは、大人もそれほど変わらなかったことです。子どもの方がずっと多いと思っていました。夫と私は子どものスマホに文句を言っていますが、私たちもたくさん使っていたのです。

05When We Used Phones Most
When we looked closer, most of our phone time happened in two places: on the sofa after dinner and in bed before sleep. Those were the times we used to talk to each other.
よく見てみると、スマホの時間のほとんどは二つの場所で使われていました。夕食後のソファの上と、寝る前のベッドの中です。それは、以前は家族で話していた時間でした。

06Our New Rules
So we made two new family rules. Phones go in a basket during dinner, and all phones charge in the kitchen at night, including mine and my husband's.
そこで、家族のルールを二つ作りました。夕食の間はスマホをかごに入れること、そして夜は、私と夫のものも含めて、全部のスマホをキッチンで充電することです。
07Conclusion
In conclusion, collecting our own numbers changed the conversation. Instead of blaming the kids, we saw the habit was the whole family's. Next month, we'll track again and compare. Thank you.
まとめると、自分たちで数字を集めたことで、話し合いの中身が変わりました。子どもを責めるのではなく、家族全員の習慣だと分かったのです。来月、もう一度記録して比べてみます。ありがとうございました。
