About
Kara Coleman
Former elementary school teacher, educational content creator, and mother of three. My work focuses on helping kids and families build healthier relationships with technology.
I have three kids, each at a different stage of navigating the digital world — the first phone, the group chats, the arguing about turning it off. Working out how to handle all of it in my own house is what led to these workbooks.
I have a master's in curriculum and instruction, and I designed them the way I would build a unit for a classroom: start where the kid actually is, make the reasoning visible, then let them write their own rules.
Kids can learn to choose balance for themselves. The goal is for them to understand how and why screens are designed to hold their attention, and what to do when they notice it working on them.
