Summary

This is NOT a fear-based lecture to make parents feel guilty about screen usage! I want to give you practical scripts, guidelines, and an action plan for kids of all ages. How can you get kids off phones, video games, the iPad, YouTube, and social media without the fights? How can you teach kids to use screens responsibly? Let your kids listen and use this as a discussion starter. Go through the "Control Screens" Program included in our Back-To-School Sale at https://celebratecalm.com/products/.
