Digital Detox for Kids

Digital Detox for Kids – A 21-Day Screen Reset Program for Parents, Teachers, and Counselors

Does your child (or student) struggle to transition away from screens?

Do you notice increased irritability, shortened attention span, or difficulty engaging in real play?

You’re not alone — and it’s not just behavior, it’s brain development. During early childhood, neural pathways are rapidly forming, and excessive screen exposure can disrupt emotional regulation, attention, and connection patterns. This resource provides a gentle, science-based reset that works with a child’s developing brain instead of against it.

What’s Inside:

This 21-day, step-by-step family guide walks you through four research-backed phases:

1. Rebuilding Connection – Learn the 5-Minute daily ritual that strengthens attachment and lowers screen cravings.
2. From Tantrums to Trust – Transform screen-time battles into calm, cooperative transitions.
3. Rediscovering Real Play – Re-ignite imagination, independent play, creativity, and curiosity.
4. Thriving Socially – Strengthen confidence, communication, collaboration, and peer connection.

Each phase includes:

• Clear daily action steps
• Simple scripting for parents
• Gentle behavior-support strategies
• Progress check-ins
• Emotional regulation tools
