Something for every part of the family.

Talks for parents

Talks for parent groups, in person or online. Each one stands on its own.

• The Middle GroundBanning doesn't work and giving up isn't a plan. So where is the ground in between, and how do you find it in your own home? Screens treated like food: what they're having, when, and how much in one sitting. Also runs as a parents-and-kids workshop (below).
• Stop talking about screen timeWhy counting minutes keeps the fight going, and what works better: paying attention to how, what and when.
• Before the first phoneHow to know when your family is ready, and how to write a phone agreement together. See the free agreement.
• Screens and the bodySleep, mood, focus and connection, through four hormones:
  • Dopaminewanting more
  • Cortisolstress
  • Oxytocincloseness
  • Melatoninsleep

How screens work on you

A fun, interactive course. How apps hold attention, what that does to the brain and body, and how to stay in charge.

For middle and high school, the examples focus on friendships, group chats and social media.

• Elementary through high school
• In schools or small groups
• Includes a parent meeting

The Middle Ground

My signature workshop, and the clearest version of what I believe. Not banning, not giving up: the ground in between, found together.

Parents and kids learn side by side and build a shared language. Then they write a household agreement together, so the rules are understood, not just imposed.

• Parents and kids side by side
• Families leave with their own agreement
