Summary

The most powerful screen time intervention you have is not what you do with your child's phone, it's what you do with yours. In this episode, I'm sharing the moment I had to look in the mirror about my own tech habits, and the framework I now teach parents to raise screen-smart kids without the daily power struggle. We'll cover why taking the phone away always backfires, the role Special Time plays in pulling kids off devices without a meltdown, and the 80% modeling rule every parent needs to hear before they make another screen-time rule.
