Raising Kids, Not Screens: Boundaries That Connect is not another how-to manual on cutting device time. It's a grounded, body-aware invitation to shift how we approach tech use in our families. This book does not shame parents or idolize screen-free perfection. It walks you through the real daily tug-of-war between presence and pixelation and offers a different path—one that starts from relationship, not rigid rules.

It's not about control. It's about connection. Not about forcing disconnection. But about finding rhythm.

With playful insight, real-life attunement, and a gentle nudge toward deeper inner leadership, this book invites you to reclaim something richer than screen battles: your relationship with your child.

Inside, you'll explore:

  • Why your child's screen resistance may have more to do with disconnection than disobedience
  • How to set limits without turning into a cop or a doormat
  • What "enough" looks like for your family—not someone else's Instagram version
  • How consistency can be felt without being robotic
  • Why rebellion isn't always a sign your boundaries failed
  • What it means to lead from values, not fear of ruining your child
  • How rhythm and rituals reduce overuse better than lectures ever could
  • This book is a balm for the parent tired of tracking screen time and ready to build something more meaningful: mutual respect, inner clarity, and sustainable presence. No charts. No threats. Just practical, wise support for raising real kids in a real world—with heart, not hype.
