About the workbook

What this one does

A workbook your 8 to 10 year old fills in themselves, so the two of you are working on it together.

Kids this age aren’t being defiant when they melt down at the end of screen time. They don’t yet have the skill to stop on their own. That skill is what this workbook builds, one short activity at a time.

Inside

What’s in it

  1. Your Screen Time Story

    Reflect on your relationship with screens and picture your ideal balanced day.

  2. Understanding My Screens

    Learn your own habits and triggers, and how screens affect your body and mood.

  3. My Screen Time Goals

    Set goals and write rules that work for you — not rules handed down.

  4. Building My Balance

    Find off-screen activities you actually like, and build routines around them.

  5. Staying on Track

    Learn how to keep going, and how to come back after a bad week.
