We wanted to make tech easier for parents – CRAZY EASY! 

We wanted to give families peaceful homes again, where everyone actually talks to each other at the dinner table.

We wanted to give you a trusted guide that you could rely on as your kids grow.

Yes, the technology is constantly changing, but many of the strategies and parenting philosophies we cover in this book will never change.

Plus, when you buy the book, you’ll get access to our members only Screen Time Sanity Resources Webpage.

Here you’ll be able to download our Family Technology Management Printable Bundle FREE!  It includes family tech rules, screen-time and cell phone contracts as well as tech talk conversation starters.  In addition, there are links to all the helpful resources we provide in the book as well as a section where we’ll keep you updated on ALL the latest tech trends that impact our kids (we’ve got all sorts of great info on there right now about Fortnite).

So, what are you waiting for? Get your copy today. Unless of course you really enjoy all those tech tantrums, constant guilt and the non-stop worry….

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
