This book offers parents a clear and emotionally supportive approach to reducing screentime while fostering connection and growth. This book goes beyond limiting screens—it helps you build a deeper understanding of your child’s needs and empowers you to create lasting, meaningful change.

With empathy, humor, and firsthand experience as a parent and tech expert, Anahid Sargsyan teaches parents how to:

  • Set screen-time limits that align with your family’s values—without guilt or power struggles.
  • Decode your child’s emotional needs behind screen requests and respond with connection.
  • Implement the Total Response System, an easy, play-based strategy for breaking the screentime cycle.
  • Balance technology with offline activities to nurture creativity, independence, and family bonds.
  • Build sustainable habits that grow with your child and adapt to changing technology.

A great resource!

A great resource for something every modern day parent is dealing with. Helpful information with research to back it up, and a lot of great tips on how to accomplish a screen free home. Something we all need more of in this day and age. Highly recommend for new parents!
