Explanation:
Picking up a copy of Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence is almost a requirement in the business world for educating yourself on the topic – but in terms of improving your emotional skills, does stepping back from the internet help or hinder your relationships.
When we started our Digitox, such a thing couldn’t have been further from my mind. We just wanted our family to connect with each other rather than their gadget, and got fed up with the constant zombie behaviour worthy of a place in the movies rather than a family home.
One piece of research for my book on our Digitox showed that excessive internet use causes lateralisation of brain function, the process by which the division of labour between both hemispheres becomes increasingly unbalanced towards the left hemisphere – away from more holistic creative thought and towards more logical, process-driven thought processes.
Given that high levels of emotional intelligence are attributed to a more balanced thought process, there should be a correlation between a lower level of emotional intelligence and a higher use of the internet.
Likewise the reverse should be true – so when we took ourselves and our children off the internet for one day a week (and limited evenings too) four years ago, we started to see changes in our emotional intelligence as a family.
Luckily Mr Goleman gives me a nice framework of reference to consider and four distinct areas to explore.
Self-awareness
Those with high levels of emotional self-awareness are very much in touch with their own emotions and instincts. Our family’s drop in internet use has seen improvements in our self-awareness, particularly in our eldest, who is 18, and in myself.
By burying ourselves in our screens, it became increasingly difficult to have awareness of external surroundings or inner emotions. In a spiritual sense we silenced the voice within by over stimulating in other ways; for example, by gaming, shopping or choosing to stream the same TV series over and over again.
Our ‘hard stop’ brought a great deal of emotion at first (more on that shortly), but the time and space we gave to focus on our family created a positive change in this area.
Self-management
There are a number of facets to examine here: self-control, adaptability, achievement orientation and positive outlook are the ‘business’ classifications.
This is where we’ve seen the greatest difference within the family.
Have you tried to take away an iPad from a six year old after hours spent exploring its delights? What happens? In almost every case the withdrawal of this particular ‘toy’ will cause a far greater level of tantrum than any other. Taking away the internet from a teenager causes pretty much the same level of angst.
Why? Because addiction has developed. In younger brains this occurs faster, but nobody is immune – from infant to grandparent.
Our children’s ability to step outside of online social pressure has led them to be far more socially aware, both virtually and in the ‘real’ world.
This lack of self-control was unexpected when we first started our Digitox, and has become a thing of the past as we broke the addiction and formed more healthy habits. Adaptability to these changes has taught my children to be more proactive in finding alternative entertainment – typically in the creative space.
When your drive is focused on internet consumption and gaming, then the idea of achievement orientation is not focused on education or work.
We’ve seen dramatic increases in school results over the last four years in our eldest three (now 18, 15 and 13) – and we attribute this to higher levels of self-awareness, lower addiction and improved creative skills.
Less time on screens and more time for homework doesn’t hurt either!
