Disconnecting from the internet

Some people find it hard to disconnect from the internet. They are always online. But one person said, 'If you want to disconnect, just turn off the Wi-Fi.' They use a special router that can be turned off with a button in an app. When the Wi-Fi is off, nothing works, not even the lights or the fridge. But it's a good way to spend time with family. You can also buy a device called the 'brick' that blocks the internet, but it's not necessary if you have dedicated time for your family. You can just turn off the internet and have family time.

This person tries to disconnect when they are all at home and doing something together. They like to turn off the Wi-Fi because it's easy and fair. Everyone is offline, and it's a good way to spend time together. They also said that you can use 'do not disturb' on your phone or parental controls to turn off the internet, but it's not as good as just turning off the Wi-Fi.

So, if you want to disconnect, just turn off the Wi-Fi. It's simple and it works.
