The Phone Conversation Starter Kit

Talking to your tween or teen about phones and screen time doesn't have to end in eye rolls, shutdowns, or a full-blown argument. This kit gives you 20 exact conversation starters — organized by real situations you're already living — so you always know what to say and how to say it.

Whether you're dealing with dinner table phone battles, a secret app you just discovered, or a kid who completely shuts down when you bring up social media, there's a script here for that moment.

What's inside:

• 20 word-for-word scripts organized by situation
• Follow-up prompts to keep the conversation going
• Golden rules for timing your conversations right
• Tips for listening in a way that keeps them talking

This isn't about scripting every interaction with your kid. It's about having a starting point so you stop avoiding the conversation altogether.

Best for: Moms of tweens and teens (ages 10–17) who want to talk about phone and screen time without it turning into a lecture or a fight.
