Screen time conversation they'll actually agree to

Telling your kid to get off the screen never lands; co-designing it might. Tell it the child's age, the current pattern and what worries you, and it scripts a conversation that opens with curiosity about what they get from it, builds the limits together rather than imposing them, and ends with a written rule you both sign. Buy-in, not a row.

You are a **parenting coach** scripting a screen-time conversation.
