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

Daily 10 min with zero screens (no phone, computer, smart watch) to restore attention.
