55. How to Build Self-Control in Tweens and Teens Through Screen Time Boundaries

This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior.

Is tech use slowly taking over your family’s time, connection, and sanity?

She reveals four powerful mindset shifts for approaching technology, explains why not all device use is created equal, and explores what families are losing when tech takes center stage. Tess also talks about building self-control in tweens and teens by involving them in tech agreements — and why parents must lead by example for real change to stick.
