Join the Family Reset—it's free and will change how you show up at home: If you've ever felt like you're losing control of your child's phone… you're not alone. We all know screens, social media, and smartphones are affecting our kids' mental health — anxiety, sleep, attention, and even their relationships. And yet… most of us still give in. In this episode, I'm sharing: * Why parents *know* screens are a problem… but still struggle to set boundaries * The real reason it feels so hard to say no * And the 5 phone rules we use in our home (that actually work) These aren't about being a "perfect" parent — they're about building a home that reflects your values, even when it's hard. If you have a tween or teen with a phone (or you're thinking about it), this is for you.
