Listen Later
It’s 2 AM. A faint glow under your teen’s door. You knock—silence. You open it… and there they are: phone in hand, eyes red, ashamed. You’re not failing as a parent—you’re in the fight. Join licensed psychotherapist Matt Bulkley, LCSW, as he shares the exact tech playbook he uses with hundreds of families. Using the proven Stages of Change model, this episode delivers practical, stage-specific strategies to create a safer digital home without shattering trust.
 
Discover:
  • Monitoring apps like Net Nanny, Covenant Eyes, and Bark
  • Tech curfews and router shutdowns (Gryphon, Circle, Qustodio)
  • Tech-free bedrooms with kitchen charging stations
  • Safer phone choices (Bark Phone, Gabb Phone)
    • From Precontemplation (“I don’t have a problem”) to Maintenance (protecting progress), learn how to use technology as armor—not a weapon. Start with one change: an 8 PM Wi-Fi cutoff or a family charging station.
