Parenting Advice: Tips for Managing Screen Time on iPads for Kids

Testimonials

"Since we setup the daily schedule, her daily average went from 9hrs to 2 hrs. This feels much better!"

-Mom | 9yr old | iPad

"Since we removed Minecraft from his iPad, we see more of his sweet side. Minecraft time is only accessible from our living room XBOX. This simple change has eliminated the angry tantrums when it's time to get off the game. Thank you Erik for showing me how to disable installing new apps, he can no longer reinstall Minecraft on his own."

-Mom | 4 yr old | iPad

"I no longer fight with my husband. My son’s phone can no longer reach Snapchat past 9pm. Endless scrolling until 2am is NO LONGER HAPPENING at our home. Thank you Erik for telling me about the Downtime schedule feature on the iPhone, the phone automatically blocks it at the schedule that you helped me create."

-Mom | 13 yr old | iPhone

"When she reached for her phone, I know that it’s usually for her Duolingo. She knows that Roblox is only accessible from our living room XBOX."

-Mom | 9 yr old | iPhone

"It’s been months since I’ve last seen her curled up on the corner with her eyes glued to her screen. It’s a relief to see such great improvement when we stop by to visit."

-Aunt | 8 yr old | iPad

"These little victories give me hope. It's been 15 years of iPhone usage and bad habits. Endless scrolling throughout the day. Flinching at the phantom rings. My children won’t have to go thru this same vicious cycle. Thank you Erik for learning about all these features. Apple doesn't make this intuitive and it allows me to refine the rules as circumstances change."

-Rocio | Late 30’s | 2 kids (elementary school)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is One-on-One Coaching, and who is it for?

A: Our One-on-One Coaching is designed for parents who want to gain a better understanding of their device usage, both for personal accountability and to guide their family’s digital habits. This program helps parents become accountability coaches within their family, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to set boundaries and model healthy device use. We currently specialize in working with families using Apple products, specifically iPhones and iPads.

Q: Do you offer an app that can be downloaded to a child’s device?

A: No, we do not provide a standalone app. Instead, we guide parents on how to use the robust, built-in parental controls on Apple’s iPad and iPhone devices. Our approach leverages these tools and pairs them with workshops focused on rebuilding family connections and creating balance in device use.

Q: What age group is the service best suited for?

Our resources are tailored for parents with children aged 2 to 17. Our tools and guidance are designed to help parents manage device usage effectively across these age groups.

Q: How do I know if this coaching is right for my family?

A: If you’re seeking structured support to create a healthier digital environment at home, or if you're interested in learning hands-on ways to manage device settings, set boundaries, and foster open conversations around technology with your kids, this coaching can be very effective.

Q: Will I learn about digital etiquette and managing screen time during coaching?

A: Absolutely! Our coaching covers essential topics like setting screen time limits, managing app usage, and practicing digital etiquette. You'll gain practical tips for balancing screen time with family time and for helping children understand respectful and mindful device use.
