If you’ve ever tried to cut back screen time and it turned into a full-on meltdown… welcome to the club. 😅

As a single parent and LCSW who coaches parents of tweens and teens, I see the same pattern: when we focus only on rules, behavior problems get louder. When we focus on communication and connection, screen limits actually stick.

In today’s episode of The Single Parent Reset Show, I walk you through 5 real-life steps:

✨ Open a low-pressure conversation about tech use.
✨ Co-create realistic limits (kids follow what they help build).
✨ Replace some screen time with connection time.
✨ Make one daily device-free zone—for everyone.
✨ Shift from punishment to earned privileges.

Fewer fights. More trust. Better digital habits that last.

🚫 Tired of screen time battles with your tween or teen?
You’ve tried the tech rules:
2-hour limits

Phones off at 9

No screens at dinner
..and still? The resistance, sneaking, and power struggles continue. 😩

Here’s what most parenting advice misses:

💡 Rules don’t work if your relationship doesn’t.

Why do we keep having the same fight with our kids—over and over?

This week on The Single Parenting Reset Show, I’m joined by mental health counselor Justine Carino, LMHC to explore how family roles like "the rebel," "the golden child," and "the peacemaker" shape your teen's behavior—and how your own upbringing might be playing a role, too.

If you're a single parent struggling with conflict, behavior issues, or screen time limits this summer, this one’s for you.
