The ten-minute talk about "one more game"

Start with curiosity, not rules. Ask Maya what they love about the game, then agree on a stop signal together. At 11, Maya wants a say. Invite them to co-write the rule with you.

Tech Diet Concept

This lesson introduces the Tech Diet framework, which shifts the conversation from “how much screen time” to “what kind of technology use.” Parents and caregivers learn how different types of tech impact child well-being through key brain chemicals. Toxic tech creates stress, junk tech creates short bursts of pleasure without learning, and healthy tech supports self-care, connection, and creativity.
