A day-by-day plan to cut your child's screen time roughly in half, without the guilt, the cold-turkey meltdowns, or another 300-page parenting book.
✓ Instant access ✓ Works for ages 1–5 ✓ Money-back guarantee
Grounded in AAP screen-time guidance and clinical research on gradual reduction. No cold turkey, no guilt.
Maybe at breakfast. Maybe in the car. Maybe at 4:47 PM when they were melting down at your feet for the third time and Bluey was the only thing keeping the world from ending.
Not destroyed-bad. Just that low background hum of guilt that's basically the soundtrack of modern parenting. You've read the articles. You know about dopamine and the AAP guidelines. You know.
Maybe you announced "no more iPad until Saturday" with great conviction on a Sunday night. By Tuesday at 5pm, that promise was on fire.
Here's the thing: you don't need another guilt trip about screens. You need a small, specific action for each day this week, written by someone who has actually done this with their own kid.
Not zero. We're not crazy. Just sustainable, evidence-based, and gentle on everyone's nervous system, including yours.
The "no more iPad" announcement no longer triggers a 25-minute scream. You'll know exactly what to say and how to hold the line.
Less negotiating. Less guilt. More of the bedtime-then-couch sequence you actually deserve.
No 300-page reading list. No "remove all screens immediately." Just a calm, sequenced plan you can actually pull off while running the rest of your life.
Track what's actually happening, without judgment. You'll be shocked, and that's the point.
The screens you don't even remember turning on. Quick win. Builds momentum.
Your child notices. The exact words to use, and the words to never use.
The "extinction burst": withdrawal-like behavior that lasts about a week. We get you through it.
Their nervous system catches up. You catch your breath. Things shift.
The activities that actually compete with a tablet: by age, by attention span, by mess tolerance.
The hardest stretch of the day, solved. A printable evening protocol you can stick on the fridge.
A 60-second weekly check-in so you don't slide back when life gets hard (and life will get hard).
These are some things that MASSIVELY helped me, so I'll share them here with you for FREE
Emails parents sent us after they'd run the full 7 days.
Day 3 was brutal. I almost gave up, but the guide literally calls it "the worst day" so I kept going. By day 6 our daughter was asking for paint instead of the iPad. Cried a little, in a good way.
Megan · mom of a 3-year-old
my husband thought I was overthinking the whole screen-time thing. we tried this because honestly nothing else was working. we're not screen-free, that's not the point, but the 5pm meltdown is gone. worth every penny.
Sara · mom of twin toddlers
We didn't expect to actually do it tbh, two tired parents, full-time jobs, zero bandwidth for another parenting book, but we bit the bullet. The "one small thing a day" framing was the only reason this stuck. Our 2yo is back to playing with blocks like he used to.
Anna & James · parents of a 2-year-old
Bought this at 11pm on a Wednesday after googling "how to stop screen time meltdowns." Started Friday. By the next Thursday our evenings were a different planet. Not perfect, but clearly different.

The complete system. Yours to keep.
Get the 7-day resetThe day-by-day plan is the spine. These are the things you'll print, fold, and stick on the fridge.
Exact words for the "no more iPad" moment. Tested. Refined. Calm.
Sorted by age, attention span, and how much mess you're willing to tolerate.
When this is normal. When to call your pediatrician. No hand-waving.
I'm not a pediatrician. I'm not a child psychologist. I'm a parent who got to the point where my kid was screaming at me when I tried to take the iPad away during dinner, and I thought, okay, something has to change...
So I read the 300-page books. I talked to other parents. I ran the experiment on my own kid. I screwed up. I tried again. What you're about to download is the playbook I wish I'd had. Short, specific, and never preachy.
I'm a parent, not a pediatrician, so instead of opinions, the method leans on the guidance clinicians and researchers already agree on:
Every source is listed in the guide's Note on sources. This is a practical playbook, not medical advice. For significant concerns, talk to your pediatrician.
On Day 7 the guide asks you to sit down and decide five things: your real daily number, when the screen windows are, your three-to-five nevers, what a bad day is allowed to look like, and the one thing you'll change about your own phone. Good questions. Then the book ends, and you answer them in your head, and a fortnight later nobody can remember what you agreed.
The Everything Toolkit is those answers, on paper. Not more advice: the fill-in pages the plan keeps telling you to make.
One page on the fridge with the number, the windows and the nevers written down. An unwritten rule gets renegotiated every single day. A written one argues for you.
Your new normal in writing, plus a hard-day setting for sick kids, travel and the weeks you're wrecked: decided in advance, so you're not inventing it at 5pm.
Four numbers on Day 0, the same four on Day 7. In a month you'll swear it was never that bad: this is the page that proves what actually changed, in your own handwriting.
Cut it out, hand it to whoever else has them. Three rules, why each one matters, and a list of what they can say yes to, so it lands as a note, not a lecture.
$69 gets you through the week. $99 is the week becoming how your house works.
The full system: the day-by-day plan, the printables, and the word-for-word scripts. Less than one session with a parenting coach, and it never expires.

App pricing reflects published 2026 plans for widely used parental-control services and varies by plan and device count. If you need content filtering, use an app. This is for the part an app can't do.
The Kit gets you through the week. This is the part that makes it how your house works.
Do the 7 days. If your evenings aren't calmer, email us between Day 7 and Day 12 for a full refund, no forms, no guilt. The plan, printables, and scripts stay yours to keep. The delay is on purpose: we want you to actually run the plan before you decide. See policy.

No. The whole point is gradual reduction. The clinical evidence is consistent: for kids under 6, stepping screens down works far better than ripping them away. You won't dread Day 1.
Email us between Day 7 and Day 12 after your purchase. That's a five-day refund window. The 7-day delay is intentional: the guide is a 7-day plan, so we want you to actually run it before deciding it didn't work. Inside the window, no questions asked. Full policy.
No. It's a practical playbook from one parent to another. If your child has significant developmental, behavioral, or sleep concerns, please talk to your pediatrician. They're more useful than any PDF, including this one.
Honestly, it works best when everyone in the home is briefed. The guide includes a one-page Partner Brief you can forward instead of arguing about it on a Tuesday night.
Seven days. One small action a day. Less yelling. More couch.
