JOIN THE MOVEMENT ✳
we’ve helped thousands of families navigate screen time boundaries with success.
As educators and therapists, we had been working with families of teens on healthy tech for years… but when we became moms ourselves, we saw the tech conversation was starting too late. Our very babies scramble for our phones. Where was the go-to guide? We needed answers and we needed them now. So we turned to the research and created one that follows the science while making sense for the modern parent. When you have a GUIDE, you can drop the GUILT. Allow us to show you
When to start screen time?
