A personalized assessment of where your child stands right now, using the Screen Balance Assessment and Diversified Childhood Profile tools that show you exactly what's happening across the key developmental areas of your child's life, not just screen hours. You'll learn how to understand and think about your situation, and go beyond general recommendations. We have a unique decision tree to help guide you in making changes.
A deep understanding of why this is hard, including the neuroscience of screen appeal (hint: it's not a willpower problem). You'll learn evidence-based strategies that help make this easier, but understanding why is crucial.
A concrete, phased action plan built around six intervention targets, with practical tools, software guides, and real language for hard conversations.
And coverage of the issues parents are most concerned about:Â Emotional outbursts, dealing with resistance, phone readiness, and social media.
Scripts and strategies for the hardest moments like when your child won't hand over the device. You'll learn the Validate and Wait technique and a set of proven de-escalation approaches that work without creating more conflict.Â
And most importantly, the part most programs completely miss: How to build your child's life up, and not just cut screens down. Develop independence, resilience and a diversified childhood where screens are one part of a full life, not the center of it.
The program includes video lessons that educate you about the why, what, and how behind the changes you want to make. There are interactive tools and exercises you can use with your child starting tonight. And if you want to go deeper, we've also written the book :). Why not?!
