Summary
Between video games, phones, and streaming, it’s easy for teenagers to spend the whole summer indoors. In Part 2, David goes even deeper into why teens are drawn to screens, how to recognize when it’s too much, and what parents can do to create healthy, realistic boundaries—without the blowups.
David also shares practical advice on how to avoid common screen-time pitfalls and how to guide teens toward better choices—without nagging, yelling, or power struggles.
This episode isn’t about guilt-tripping—it’s about building trust and helping teens create a summer they’ll feel good about.
