“Emily’s researched and thoughtful approach to the issue of screen use in our family allowed us to understand the need from our children’s perspective and allowed them to understand the rationale behind our screentime limitations.”
J.W.

J.M

Eric H.
Client
“Emily has helped me look at how I approach tech and parenting… I am grateful for her support and helping my family focus on our values while we become tech-intentional. I highly recommend working with her.”

Workshops

“I joined Emily’s training as a helpless parent who had lost hope. Now, I am a lot more confident, armed with all the tools and an awesome support group. I know the challenges will continue, but now I am hopeful that I will be able to cope and I know I am not alone.”
P.N.
Parent
“Before taking Emily’s workshop, I felt alone, angry, scared, and ill-equipped to navigate my relationship with kids in their relationship to their devices. Emily’s support has been like a glass of water in a parched desert. She is passionate about helping families decrease conflict and increase knowledge to make better decisions around screentime.”
Dr. Elizabeth M., LCSW, PhD
“Emily’s training frames the discussion about screentime in shared family values; encourages parents to model what they want their children to do; and emphasizes the importance of having an open line of family communication and connection.”
N.B.
