Screens and children

A question that in families is often not about time but about who decides and what the screens are replacing.

Term

How it shows up

Battles over screens usually intensify where there is no agreed frame and where the screen is the only reliable source of settling — for the parents too.

What we do with it in therapy

Instead of prohibitions we set a frame that the parents agree together and that applies to them as well. Children accept rules far more easily when they aren’t the exception.

Does some of this sound familiar?

An explanation is one thing, the experience another. If you'd like to talk it through with someone, write to me.

Write to me How therapy works
This is what insomnia taught me. What has it taught you? Traumatic experiences can leave you weakened — on recovery and strength. On the worries that drain our energy. On why differentiation matters in relationships. Self-confidence starts with self-awareness. On how hard it is to start — and harder still to keep going.
