Scenario

When families can't agree on healthy phone boundaries

My teenage daughter and I agreed she'd put her phone in the kitchen at 9pm but she keeps 'forgetting' and I keep reminding her and we both end up annoyed and my wife thinks I'm being too rigid but the late-night scrolling is affecting her sleep. We can't seem to find an approach that works for everyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A household cannot move together toward balance because each person carries a different understanding of what balance means.
