14 | How to Help Your Kids Break Phone Addiction (When You're Still Figuring It Out)


Listen Later

You want to help your kids break phone addiction and be aware of their screen habits but you also find yourself scrolling, zoning out, or sneaking Instagram in the bathroom. So how do you lead well when you're still working on it too?

In today’s episode of Overcome Digital Distraction, we’re getting real about one of the biggest parenting tensions of our time: modeling healthy screen use without pretending to have it all together.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why digital distraction is different for this generation of kids
  • The difference between false guilt and authentic conviction
  • 4 practical, grace-filled ways to lead your family through this
  • Why your kids don’t need your perfection, they need your honesty
  • You’ll also learn how to help your kids break phone addiction by: 

    ✔ Speak in values, not just rules

    ✔ Create intentional family rhythms (without overcomplicating it)
    ✔ Be honest and invite your kids into the process
    ✔ Hold boundaries with kindness and choices

    Plus: We unpack the biblical wisdom of the Shema (Deut. 6:4-9) and how it points us to present - not perfect - parenting.

    This one is for every parent who's ever said, “Do as I say, not as I scroll.”
