Welcome to Deep Dive into Parenting from cybersafetycop.com. This episode provides tools for parents to handle tough conversations about teen screen time, drawing on Chapter 5 of Clayton Cranford’s book, Screen Time Standoff. Learn how to disarm fear, build trust, and utilize powerful communication strategies, including techniques borrowed from hostage negotiation such as open-ended questions, reflective listening, and expressing confusion. Discover how to create a collaborative “boundary plan” with your teen, featuring the 25% rule, clear rewards and consequences, and regular check-ins, to guide them toward a healthier relationship with technology and develop self-awareness and self-regulation. This approach emphasizes curiosity over judgment, collaboration over conflict, and connection over control.
