Episode 89: Screen Time Boundaries That Actually Stick


Listen Later

Struggling with screen time battles? You’re not alone.

In this episode, psychologist Leanne Tran tackles the modern parenting dilemma: how to set screen limits that stick—without meltdowns or guilt. Discover why neurodivergent children (ADHD, autism) need tailored strategies, how to craft a family media plan everyone follows (yes, even you!), and science-backed hacks to ease transitions (goodbye, tantrums!). Learn why screens aren’t the enemy—just a tool to balance—and get actionable tips for mindful usage, age-appropriate rules, and reclaiming calm.

Perfect for: Parents drowning in digital chaos, craving practical fixes for TikTok obsession, Fortnite marathons, or bedtime scroll battles.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why "one-size-fits-all" screen rules fail (and what works instead).

  • How to involve children in boundary-setting (spoiler: fewer power struggles!).

  • The magic of visual timers and "boring" alternatives that actually work.
