Winning the War against Screen Time


Listen Later

Are you losing the war against screentime? Do you kick, scream and shout when your kids are locked behind their screens for hours? Are you so sick of it that you want to rip your hair out?

There is nothing worse than seeing the back of your child's device...all the time!

When you try to talk to them and all they answer with is "yup...uh-huh...oh ok!" Which translates to, "Sorry I'm not listening to you. I'm kinda busy at the moment." When this happens over and over, 2 things are happening and will happen:

  1. Your kid is so addicted to their screen that they don't even realize it
  2. Your relationship with them will deteriorate over time because of all the arguments that WILL happen

But there is good news! It doesn't always have to be a fight. You don't have to take their device away. In fact, let them keep their device, but then do this one thing.

Take Control.

That's right, control! Remember, you are the parent. You are the one who pays for the internet. You set the rules and you also enforce them. But it doesn't have to be forceful, loud or with yelling and fighting. In fact, you can take control of screentime all with the push of a button.
