notifications a day hit the typical teen's phone. One interruption roughly every four waking minutes.

You just don't have the right tools yet.

The Screen Balance Program is a step-by-step plan from two clinical child psychologists that takes your family from daily battles to calm, confident screen decisions, whatever stage you are starting from.

A plan, not another lecture
From nightly battles to calm, confident screen decisions
The Screen Balance Program is a step-by-step course from two clinical child psychologists. Short lessons, practical exercises, and a plan built around your child, not a generic one.
🧭
Start with a clear picture
A guided assessment maps where your child stands, so you work on the right things first instead of guessing.
🛠️
Exercises that do the work
Every lesson takes 5 to 15 minutes and ends in something you can use that same day: scripts, plans, and routines that stick.
🌱
Balance, not zero screens
The goal is a childhood so full and connected that screens cannot crowd it out. You build it one small step at a time.
