A document signed by all family members (parents included) about screen use rules.

Before giving feedback, ask recipient what type of feedback they want this week.

Set 3 zones and 3 times daily as screen-free for the whole family — simpler than complex hour rules.

When your child watches, sit with him and ask during the show — the screen turns from isolator to connector.

Put your phone in another room during time with your child — bigger impact than restricting his hours.

Ask your child with curiosity about his apps and digital friends — before discovering by surprise.

Don't "monitor" your teen, "covenant" with him on a digital protocol. The difference is everything.

Instead of "one awkward talk," 50 short talks across adolescence. That's how relational competence is built.

Instead of "platforms harm you", ask curiously: "what do you enjoy most? what bothers you?"

Talk about consent and respect in relationships before your teen needs the information, not after a crisis.
