UNPLUG YOUR CHILD: Parent's Guide to Breaking Screen Addiction in Kids — The 30-Day Age-by-Age Reset Plan for Ages 2 to 18($15.99Value)

Description

Is your child impossible to pull away from screens? You're not failing as a parent. You're fighting a billion-dollar machine—and this book gives you the plan to win. Every day, millions of parents lose the same battle. The meltdowns when the tablet gets taken away. The phone was found under the pillow at 2 a.m. The child who used to love reading, playing outside, and talking to you — who now stares at a screen for hours without looking up. This isn't a discipline problem. It isn't weak parenting. It is the predictable result of exposing a developing brain to technology specifically engineered by behavioral scientists to be impossible to put down. Unplug Your Child is the practical, science-backed field manual every parent needs — with age-specific strategies, a complete 30-day screen reset, and word-for-word scripts for the hardest conversations. What You'll Learn: Why willpower-based screen limits always fail—and what the neuroscience says actually works - How tech companies deliberately engineer addiction in children (and what the insiders have publicly admitted) - How to accurately assess where your child stands — heavy use, problematic use, or addictive use - Age-specific strategies for every stage: toddlers (2–5), elementary (6–10), tweens (11–14), and teenagers (15–18) - A complete 30-day screen reset with day-by-day guidance and emergency scripts for Week One - How to rebuild real-world connection, friendships, and offline identity after a reset - The honest chapter about your own phone habits—and why it may be the most important one in the book - How to navigate schools, other parents, and the digital world beyond your front door - When professional help is needed — and exactly how to find it Who This Book Is For: This book is for the parent who has tried every rule, every parental control app, and every screen time limit—and watched them all fail. It is for the parent who has stood in a darkened doorway watching the blue light on their child's face and wondered where they went. Whether your child is 3 or 17, whether you are dealing with gaming, social media, YouTube, or all of the above—this book meets you where you are and gives you a specific, realistic, relationship-based plan. The 30-Day Screen Reset: Unlike generic advice books, Unplug Your Child includes a complete 30-day reset protocol with: Day-by-day guidance for all four weeks - Emergency scripts for meltdowns, negotiations, and the moments you want to give up - A Family Screen Agreement template you can use starting today - Weekly trackers and reflection tools - Age-specific modifications for every developmental stage What Makes This Book Different: Most books on children and screens explain the problem in detail and leave parents without a practical path forward. Unplug Your Child is built on a single premise: alarm without action is not help. Every chapter translates the latest research in neuroscience, developmental psychology, and behavioral science into something a real parent can use on a real Tuesday afternoon. About the Author: Nihan Sergen is a researcher, writer, and parent who spent years immersed in the science of screen dependency before writing the book she wished had existed when she needed it most. Her work sits at the intersection of developmental psychology and practical parenting—translating peer-reviewed research into tools real families can actually use.
