You don't need a perfect media plan. You need rules that survive a Tuesday. This book gives fathers the language, the timing, and the concrete routines to handle screens with your kids without becoming the screen police or the pushover dad. It walks you through each stage—from the toddler gripping your phone to the teenager negotiating social media—and shows you what your actual job is: deciding when a screen becomes a problem, making the rule stick, and knowing what to do when the rule breaks. You'll find ready-to-use scripts for ending iPad time, a working session to agree rules with your co-parent, and honest guidance for when screens are a lifesaver, not a failure. Written for dads who are separated, solo, step, or partnered, and for dads who hate their own phone habits, this is the anti-lecture playbook that respects your judgment while giving you a structure you'll actually keep.
