Practical strategies for achieving peace of mind around screens without power struggles
About this Event

When it comes to screens, many parents are fed up feeling like police officers or pushovers

and sometimes both on the same day. In this workshop, parents learn how to create screen time agreements that actually stick, by engaging their kids in the process and addressing their own fears in a way that creates collaboration, not conflict. It’s for parents who are looking for an approach that doesn’t rely on threats, punishment, or power struggles, but that still provides peace of mind. And it's for kids as young as 10 who want to do more of what they want, more of the time, in a way that works for everyone.



In this hands-on workshop you'll
  • Understand how fear-based parenting can fuel power struggles and make screen time harder to manage.
  • Learn a 3-step process to create effective, collaborative screen time agreements with your whole family.
  • Discover how to use a child’s need for autonomy to inspire them to make empowered decisions about screen use.
  • Hear examples of real families using this process, so parents can apply them to their own situations.



Intended Takeaways
  • Parents will leave with a clear understanding of how their fears around screens may be driving conflict, and how to turn that fear into a tool for building stronger agreements.
  • Kids 10 and up will leave with a better sense of their own needs for choice and autonomy, and how they can use those needs to make healthy, informed decisions about their screen time.
  • A concrete, adaptable 3-step process to help you craft an agreement that everyone in the family can buy into, regardless of how enthusiastic a child is about screens.



About Your Facilitator

Hi. I’m Lisa.

I’ve spent the last two decades learning, practicing, and teaching hundreds of parents how to prevent family conflicts. I started doing this work because I decided that I wouldn’t have kids until I had tools to do things differently than my (well-intentioned and loving) parents did. I have two kids who are now 15 and 18.


Parents usually feel judged –

by their kids, their partners, their in-laws, other parents, and (the harshest critics of all) themselves. I see what every family member does through a judgment-free lens, which results in robust, compassionate conflict transformation.

I majored in Chinese in college, produced a podcast at a food truck park, and perform monologues like Date Night at Pet Emergency and the Mommy Meltdown Show. I also love square dancing and tandem pedal kayaks.

You’ve probably noticed that I don’t have any letters after my name. That’s because the skills you need to prevent conflicts and repair ruptures don’t require a degree in mental health. They’re accessible to everyone. My clients and I are living proof of that.
