Screens, Sanity, and Laughs

As a parent battling the endless screen time war, this book was a breath of fresh air. The advice felt relatable, like chatting with a friend who "gets it". It gave me realistic strategies without the guilt trip and even had me laughing along the way. I actually tried one tip about managing screen time during dinner, and guess what? It worked without tears (mine or theirs)! Definitely worth a read if you want practical help and a good chuckle.

Laughs and Real-Life Wins



I picked this up hoping for some tips to help with my kids’ screen habits, and I wasn’t disappointed! It’s funny, relatable, and filled with ideas that actually work for a busy parent like me. I love how it doesn’t make you feel guilty about screen time but instead helps you find a balance. The humor kept me turning the pages, and I’ve already tried a couple of strategies with my own family. Highly recommend for parents looking for sanity!

Relatable and Practical with a Fun Twist

This audiobook takes the stress out of managing screen time and turns it into something you can actually laugh about. The strategies are easy to follow, and I loved how it offered ideas for offline activities that are actually fun for kids (and not just wishful thinking). The section on raising respectful "digital citizens" was especially helpful—it gave me simple ways to talk about online behavior without sounding preachy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing the screen-time battle, this is a great resource to help you regain balance without losing your mind.

A Fun Take on a Modern Parenting Dilemma

This book blends humor and practicality in a way that makes tackling screen time feel less overwhelming. I appreciated how relatable the anecdotes were—at times, I felt like the author had been eavesdropping on my own family’s struggles! The tips are straightforward, with just enough flexibility to adapt to different parenting styles. That said, some advice leaned a bit too general, and I would’ve liked more concrete examples for older kids. Overall, it’s a lighthearted and engaging read that doesn’t make you feel judged.
