Screen-Free Parenting: Reclaim Your Child From Social Media in 30 Days
Q1: Is this book only for parents of teenagers?
No. It covers ages 8-18 with specific strategies for each developmental stage — younger children (8-10), pre-teens (11-13), and older teens (14-18). Every parent will find age-appropriate advice.
Do I need to take away all screens completely?
No. The 30-day framework is about balance, not bans. Phase 4 covers gradual reintroduction with healthy boundaries. Screens aren't the enemy — unmanaged use is.
What if my child resists or throws tantrums?
Chapter 10 is dedicated entirely to handling resistance, emotional outbursts, and hidden device use. You'll get scripts, de-escalation techniques, and crisis management strategies.
Does this book address social media's impact on mental health?
Yes. Chapter 1 explains brain chemistry, dopamine loops, impulse control, comparison crisis, and long-term cognitive effects. Chapter 2 covers anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.
Is this based on research or just opinion?
Evidence-based. The author holds a Master's degree in Social Science and Social Psychology and combines academic research with real-world experience as a single father of two. Every strategy is practical and proven.
