Helping Kids Beat Problematic Screen Habits

Less conflict. Better habits. More family time. Help your child build a healthier relationship with technology - one small step at a time.

You ask your son to turn off the game. He says, "Just one more match." Thirty minutes later, he's still playing. When you finally turn it off, the evening ends in tears and shouting.

Technology isn't the problem. This book isn't about removing screens - it's about helping your family regain balance. Children don't need less technology; they need healthier relationships with technology.

Grounded in behavioral psychology and child development research - and written in warm, practical language - this book walks you through:

• Why screens feel so powerful, understanding habit loops, and when to genuinely be concerned
• Understanding your child: why they resist stopping, the emotions behind screen use, and connection before correction
• Creating better habits: resetting rules, predictability, replacing rather than removing, and self-control
• Everyday digital challenges: YouTube, gaming, short-form video, social media, weekends, and holidays
• A healthy digital future: responsibility, offline interests, modeling, and preparing for the teenage years
