Every parent knows the struggle: devices at the dinner table, YouTube before homework, late-night scrolling when kids should be asleep. Arguments erupt, routines derail, and family time feels hijacked by screens. But it doesn’t have to be a constant war.
Peaceful Screens is a clear, compassionate guide that shows parents how to create daily rhythms around dinner, homework, and bedtime—without constant conflict. Instead of power struggles, you’ll find practical strategies for setting limits that actually work, while still giving kids the freedom they crave. With simple routines, conversation tools, and family-tested solutions, this book helps you replace battles with cooperation and calm.
You’ll learn how to introduce device-free rituals, structure homework without distraction, and restore bedtime balance—all while modeling healthy digital habits. Whether your child is in elementary school or a teenager, these approaches adapt to your family’s needs and create a smoother flow at home.
Screens aren’t going anywhere—but the nightly fights can. This guide shows you how to reclaim peace, structure, and connection in your family life.
