Learning to Live with Less
The Oprah Winfrey Show  |  May 20, 2009
The Haynie family disconnects from technology.
After accepting Oprah's challenge, Pam and her family watch producers confiscate every gadget and gizmo in the home. "Everybody went to sleep early because there wasn't anything to do," Pam says.

As the week progressed, the family grocery shopped together on a budget and ate dinner together. Ron started to teach Kristina how to drive, and the entire family attended RJ's baseball practice. "We're trying to be a family again, and we're going to keep trying and trying until we get it right," Ron says.

Pam says tackling their technology addictions has brought them closer together. "There was a moment when we were eating dinner that Kristina just really just opened up and let us know what's going on, what's going on at school," she says. "That was an aha! moment."
