## Resource

Struggling to compete with your teen’s screen time? You’re not alone. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, award-winning children’s book author and youth motivational speaker Ty Allan Jackson reveals how to spark curiosity, rebuild connection, and help teens discover life beyond screens—without demonizing technology. The core insight: phones aren’t the enemy; they’re a mirror of our culture. Rather than pitting screens against books, relationships, and real-world experiences, successful parents use an ”and” strategy, not an ”or” approach. Jackson emphasizes that the real competition isn’t against devices—it’s about building strong relationships that make teens want to engage with their parents and the world around them.
