Parenting Resources — Ages 12-17
Thank you for letting us know what resources you need most! We’ll be sure to share content that will be helpful to you as a parent of a teen.
In addition to our course, Untangling Teens & Tech, here are a few of our favorite resources to help parents of teenagers make intentional choices about screen use:
- Is My Teen Ready for a Cellphone? by Andrea Davis
- Feature Phone to Smart Phone: A Four-Phase Process by Andrea Davis
- How to Help Your Teen Transition to a Smartphone by Andrea Davis
- Creating a Tech-Healthy Family: 10 Must-Have Conversations to Help You Worry Less and Connect More with Your Kids by Andrea Davis. (More hand-holding, resources, and accountability can be found in our course, Creating a Tech-Healthy Family.)
- Screen Time and Family Relationships: Helping Parents Restore Connection with Dr. Richard Freed and the Screen Time Action Network

These resources are a great starting point, but if you’d like to save yourself some time (and from pulling your hair out!), we’ve got everything you need in one place in Untangling Teens & Tech.
Untangling Teens and Tech is here to help you tackle tech, reconnect, and give your teen a sense of self stronger than any screen.
The course is a teen-tested, relationship-first approach to creating tech boundaries (without driving each other crazy!). This step-by-step program is designed to help you create stronger, better tech boundaries.
You can (FINALLY!) say goodbye to shouting matches, frustrated Google searches, and drastic disconnect-with-your teen measures.
You’ll understand how to connect more with your teen. You will open up communication channels and build a relationship that outlasts the latest version of the iPhone. 🙂
