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. Across seven carefully designed days, you'll move from quiet observation to family agreement, from replacing screens with appealing alternatives to rediscovering the lost art of boredom and real connection. 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.
