About this audiobook
Tired of the daily battle over screens? This practical guide offers exhausted parents a gentle, science-backed plan to reset their child's relationship with devices—without threats, lectures, or power struggles.

With age-by-age guidance for toddlers through teens and honest troubleshooting for when things get hard, this book gives you a framework to break the cycle and build a calmer, more present family life.
