It seems like nowadays everyone has a home security system with a doorbell cam that you can watch from your phone. Itโs great for monitoring package delivery when youโre not home, or snapping pictures of the neighbors dog doing itโs business on your lawn.
But kids today, who have grown up with devices like this and donโt know any other life, are always coming up with innovative ways to use technology. Hereโs a perfect example in this video.


This young man is on his way to school and his dad left early that morning to catch a flight for his work. As the boy is out the front door to catch his bus to school he decides to ring the doorbell of his own house. He knows that his dadโs phone will buzz.
Dad is quick to pick up and they have a wonderful father son chat before dad boards his airplane. Itโs this type of video that brings a smile to your day.


Such a handsome kid, and his dad surely knows it. When his son flashes those adorable braces, his dad tells him he looks marvelous.
That brings an even bigger smile to this young manโs face. And though we canโt see it, weโre sure dad has a huge smile too.


This kid is so polite. When his dad says heโs about to board the airplane, the kid says he doesnโt want to bother him.
Dad letโs him know, โYouโre not a bother, kiddo. You know that.โ


For those of us who donโt yet have the video doorbell, the Art of Manliness website has some great tips on traveling for business when you have kids at home.
Some of the good ideas include alerting your kids ahead of time and letting them know how long youโll be gone. Have them help research the place you are headed to and get them in on helping pack your bags.


One of the main ideas from the article is to hold a video chat with your kids at a specific time each day. Be sure to steer clear of generic questions and go for some more direct and poignant ones instead. Such asโฆ
- What did you eat for lunch?โ
- โWhat was the funniest thing that happened to you today?โ
- โWhat was your favorite part of today?โ
- โWhat was something nice that someone did for you today?โ
- โWhat did you do after school?โ


Another good practice is to maintain bedtime routines with your younger kiddos. The traveling parent can get involved by reading a bedtime story, saying prayers, or singing a lullaby.
Helping get those kids to bed will also be a big aid to the parent who is at home with the kids and doesnโt have the extra help that is usually there.

With the popularity of this video, weโre sure this new way to use your video doorbell to communicate with your loved one is now a thing.
Iโm sure kids everywhere are ringing their own doorbells just to tell their parents that they love them.


Kids who have grown up with tech seem to use it in ways that arenโt even thought about by those who grew up with rotary dial telephones.
And if you donโt know what that is, then you probably have some tech savvyness built into your brain.


Take a moment to send this over to someone you know that travels a lot and misses their kids. This innovative way to communicate might just become second nature in many homes.
