吃飯時,我和老公習慣把手機放在右手邊。方便看訊息、查資料,或是臨時聊到什麼就能立刻搜尋。
我們的寶寶常常坐或躺在我們身邊,除了「深情款款」地盯著我們,也對手機有著幾乎一樣的專注力。
那亮晃晃的螢幕、滑動的手指、閃爍的畫面,全都讓他目不轉睛。有時我抱著他坐在大腿上,手指滑動螢幕的同時,他的眼睛,也隨著光亮一閃一閃地移動。
那亮晃晃的螢幕、滑動的手指、閃爍的畫面,全都讓他目不轉睛。有時我抱著他坐在大腿上,手指滑動螢幕的同時,他的眼睛,也隨著光亮一閃一閃地移動。
從開始經營多平台社群之後,我對手機的依賴似乎更強了。那不只是工作的一部分,也成了我與世界連結的橋樑。可有時我也會想,當我盯著螢幕時,寶寶看到的是什麼樣的媽媽?
我忽然覺得,也許我們每天無意間的行為,正慢慢塑造他對世界的好奇方向。
於是今天早上,我對老公提議:「不如吃飯的時候,把手機放去旁邊那個桌上吧。」
老公想了想,笑著說:「那我們放進『養機場』裡吧。」
他隨手拿出我們結婚時裝喜餅的木盒,輕輕地把兩支手機放了進去。
那一刻,桌上忽然多了空氣的流動。沒有螢幕的光,也沒有訊息震動的聲音。
我低頭,看著盤裡的奇異果。果芯竟然是愛心形狀的。一口咬下蘋果,果汁酸甜,牙齒微微發酸,那股真實的感覺,好久沒這麼清楚了。
眼睛從螢幕上抬起來以後,腦袋也好像放鬆了些。沒有必須分心的事物時時在手邊,我發現自己,好久沒有好好觀察家裡的擺設——那盞結婚時挑的吊燈、牆上的木框畫、還有餐桌上那盆有點乾卻仍努力生長的小植物。
我也才發現——原來我口乾舌燥,是因為從早上起床到現在,竟然還沒喝一口水。
手機放進木盒後,我們重新打開了生活的畫面。那畫面裡有水果的香氣、有孩子的笑聲、還有我和老公互相對望時,久違的眼神交流。
從現在開始培養的這個小習慣,不只是為了讓餐桌變得安靜,更是想讓我們的家庭,在有意識的日常中慢慢被形塑出溫度與專注。我希望有一天,孩子長大後,能在飯桌上對滿桌的美食充滿好奇,對眼前的人懷抱興趣,而不是只對螢幕閃爍的光,露出笑容。
📦「養機場」不只是手機的休息站,也是我們與生活重新連線的地方。
When we eat, my husband and I usually place our phones on our right side.It’s convenient for checking messages, looking something up, or quickly searching during a conversation.
Our baby often sits or lies next to us,and besides gazing at us with deep affection,he’s just as focused on the phones.
The bright screen, swiping fingers, and flickering imagescompletely capture his attention.Sometimes, when I hold him on my lap and scroll the screen,his eyes follow every light and movement.
Since I started managing multiple social media platforms,my dependence on my phone seems stronger.It’s not just part of my work—it’s a bridge connecting me to the world.Yet sometimes I wonder,what kind of mom does my baby see when I’m glued to the screen?
I suddenly realizethat perhaps our everyday, unconscious actionsare slowly shaping his curiosity about the world.
So this morning, I suggested to my husband,“Why don’t we put our phones on the side table during meals?”
He thought for a moment and smiled,“Then let’s put them in the ‘phone airport.’”
He casually took out the wooden box we used for wedding pastriesand gently placed the two phones inside.
At that moment, the air at the table suddenly felt lighter.No glowing screens,no vibrating notifications.
I looked down at my plate and noticed the kiwi—its core was shaped like a heart.A bite of apple, juicy and slightly tart,brought a sensation of reality I hadn’t felt in a long time.
After lifting my eyes from the screen,my mind seemed to relax.With no distractions constantly at hand,I realized it had been a long time since I really noticed our home’s details—the pendant light we picked at our wedding, the framed pictures on the wall,and the small plant on the dining table that’s a little dry but still growing.
I also realized—my dry mouth was simply because I hadn’t had a sip of water since getting up this morning.
After putting our phones in the box,we reopened the picture of our daily life.It included the scent of fruit,our child’s laughter,and the long-missed eye contact between my husband and me.
This small habit we’re cultivating nowis not only to make mealtime calmer,but also to consciously shape our family’s warmth and focus.I hope that one day,our child will grow up curious about the food on the table,interested in the people around him,rather than smiling only at the flickering light of a screen.📦 The “phone airport” is not just a resting place for our devices—it’s a way for us to reconnect with life.
