Jan 15, 2016 • Maria Nicola Vicente
Since the dawn of time, parents have had to keep up with their kids. From running after them as toddlers to chasing down their whereabouts as teenagers, sometimes it seems like all you do as a parent is try to round them up long enough to get some actual quality face time (no pun intended).
It doesn’t help that kids these days have taken to technology like a fish to water—taking your child away from a smartphone or tablet screen is akin to an all-out battle, complete with negotiations and corresponding wins and losses.
Keep up with the times and embrace technology as a way to get your family together at HOME. Make every night one to remember with these 8 tips.
8. Make the most of your TV
Unite all the separate screens in your house and get everyone together around the biggest one there: your TV. Watching movies together is a great bonding activity, and it makes the most out of getting everyone in the same place.
That said, not everyone has a smart TV but that’s no reason not to enjoy a top-notch entertainment system. All PLDT HOME subscribers with an HDMI-capable set can make their entertainment goals come to life with their TVolution stick, which gives your television set PC functionality and internet access, making the possibilities endless.
PLDT HOME is the first to offer such devices, and thanks to the product’s resounding success has partnered up with Microsoft in the form of the Windows PC stick to provide even bigger and better services.
7. The gift of clarity
