Why OFFLIFE exists

This did not start with a trend report. It started at home.

As parents of a five-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter, we try to tip the balance towards LEGO, drawing, music, football, swimming, boxing and our daily dance — without pretending Nintendo or PlayStation do not exist.

When we put our own screens down, we notice more calm, openness and real connection. This book grew from that wish.
