Why Managing Screen Time for Kids Matters
With screens becoming a big part of our kids’ lives, managing screen time for children is essential. Unchecked screen use can impact children’s focus, social skills, and overall mental health.

Using our Six Super Skills, this course equips parents with tools to reclaim focus, boost motivation, and help children develop a screen-free routine.
