RAISE KIDS AND TEENS WHO THRIVE IN A TECH-HEAVY WORLD
Hi friend, if you’re tired of fighting over screens and worried about what your kids are seeing online, you’re in the right place.
The Tech-Healthy Family Hub gives you the tools, courses, and community to:
- Know what to say to your kids about screens and staying safe online
- Make a plan that actually works for your family
- Feel confident slowing things down—even when everyone else isn’t
So your kids spend less time scrolling and more time living real life. And most of all, so they’ll know who they are before the internet tells them who to be.
Let’s take the slow tech road together. We’ll reduce screen time, restore family connection, and raise kids and teens who thrive.
1. TEACH
Keep your kids safe online. Know what to say and how to say it so you can protect childhood.
2. PLAN
We’ve read the books and the research and done the experimenting—so you don’t have to. Clear plans and scripts, ready to use.
3. DELAY
Delay with confidence and keep a strong relationship with your kid/teen. You don’t have to go at this alone—experienced parents and experts are here to help.
Without this program, I would have no idea what to do about my children’s screen time. Now, I have a sense of what is healthy and where to draw the lines. This is such an important issue, that these decisions took a lot of soul-searching for me in communication with other moms.
The courses were high-quality, with bite-sized information and straightforward implementation. But the problem is so complex, I needed to be able to comment and ask hard questions in a discussion community. I’m so thankful that another mom took the time to study and experiment so that I can reap the rewards. And she has other mothers who also weighed in on my problems, giving me increased confidence. For me, this program was a 10 out of 10.
Thanks a million, Andrea!
I want to express my gratitude for how you’ve already changed our home ❤️. I haven’t been able to go as fast in the course as I was hoping to, but the perspective shifts I’ve already had have been so enlightening and helpful.
I love how you get to the root of the problem instead of trying to spot treat at the surface. I’ve actually been feeling hope for the future when it just felt like a looming dark cloud. THANK YOU for all your hard work!!
YOU KNOW THIS MATTERS. AND YOU’RE NOT GIVING UP.
You’re determined to take the slow tech road, despite your child’s insistent demands for the latest tech or the common refrain, “everyone else has it!”
You dream of seeing your family connecting over an old-fashioned Scrabble night, instead of playing Words with Friends—on phones—in separate rooms.
You want to come home to a lawn with bikes piled out front, your kids and their friends sitting around the table, helping themselves to cookies or roughhousing it in the backyard. No smartphones in sight.
You long for days when your home is filled with the sound of a bouncing basketball instead of the sounds of Mario Kart.
And the reality is, you know that tech is here to stay. You just don’t want devices to take over your family’s life and seep into what should be a slower, sweeter and safer age.
Andrea! Just had to tell you I finished the Tech-Healthy Course. First of all: STANDING OVATION. I can’t tell you how grateful I felt every time I turned the course on to listen – I literally felt like I was adding one more layer to my defense and another arrow to my quiver.
We have made changes in our family, but since the kids are still young, it’s more like we are just not letting things even begin.
Most of all, I’ve seen the biggest changes in myself – making better choices with the time I’m on my phone. I feel like I’ve gone back to school with the amount of reading I’ve been doing!
I’m using it daily and it’s changing our family.
Also, let’s be honest… this isn’t just about the kids.
You want to feel less attached to your own phone and be more present.
When your kids are calling out, “Mom” or “Dad” for the 100th time or looking for your eyes in a sea of parents to see if you noticed how they finally mastered a cartwheel, you want their eyes to meet yours, not the back of your phone.
And when all is said and done…
You want to raise capable, screen-resilient kids who will run from porn, do homework without simultaneously watching YouTube, use their imagination instead of a screen, and put down a device to look someone in the eyes.
I had very little hope when I joined here. However, I have made a turn very recently, even though we still have emotional upheaval some days. Andrea repeatedly reminded me that my highest priority was to connect back into myself with love, compassion and joy then with my daughter.
Andrea and Tyler have such wisdom, knowledge and experience that is evolving because they are growing as their kids grow. Plus the community is so rich with support and ideas! We are all growing together.
CAN I BACKPEDAL TO THE SLOW-TECH ROAD?
Or maybe you’re a parent who “caved” and gave in to more tech access than you were comfortable with, and now you’re regretting it?
Maybe you thought your child was ready, but the reality was far from it?
And now…you struggle with setting boundaries with screens. All of this makes you wonder…
Won’t it be easier to give up and give in to the screens?
Won’t there be less conflict with your kids that way?
Won’t life feel more predictable and peaceful?
I’m guessing you already know the answer.
It may be easier for now, but will it be better in the long run?
Better for your family? Better for your kids?
The good news? It’s never too late. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I would love to know when you’re doing the next class because I would definitely recommend it to all my friends! It was so very helpful to have a step by step process to address tech in a holistic, proactive way, rather than constantly playing tech whack-a-mole.
The emphasis on tackling tech WITH your teen, and creating conversations instead of just making rules for them really lowers the angst in the house.
Thank you so much, this is the most helpful thing I’ve ever done in my quest to use tech healthfully and safely in my family!
Starting with relationships is key and I love Better Screen Time’s emphasis on this. We felt that the course is really comprehensive, unlike a cellphone contract or a book without a live person to help us.
My husband especially loved the session with Tyler. We now feel equipped to tackle technology struggles in our home!
Frequently Asked Questions
About the Tech-Healthy Family Hub:
What is a community? How is it different from social media?
An online community is a way to gather people together around a particular interest or cause. This group of people come together to nurture their own and one another’s growth.
More people are craving deeper connection and learning in a less-distracted, more focused and less polarized environment than what social media provides. The Better Screen Time Community is online, but is not on a social media platform. We have guidelines and procedures in place to help create a safe and helpful gathering place.
What’s the difference between buying your courses individually and the Community?
Parents are welcome to purchase our courses Creating a Tech-Healthy Family and Untangling Teens & Tech for a full DIY experience with lifetime access to the courses. Some parents love this option.
But we’ve learned many parents want additional support and guidance from Andrea and other parents. Our BST community includes access to both courses, along with live training, workshops, and full access to community conversations inside a safe space full of like-minded parents.
How much time do I get with Andrea?
Andrea will regularly teach new workshops, lead the HAPO calls, and be active inside the community conversations!
What ages of kids will you cover in the community?
As a mom of 5, Andrea has now officially parented all the ages, from newborn to adult children. We have dedicated spaces for every age group (littles up to adult children), and we have team members with a wide variety of family situations including: a homeschool mom, a mom of one child, a bilingual mom, and a mom with 4 young children. We truly have you covered!
Is this community only for moms? Are dads or other caregivers welcome?
All parents and caregivers are welcome! In fact, we would love to hear from more dads and grandparents. Tyler will teach periodically, and in his past calls the dads were all in!
What's your cancellation policy?
We want you to be happy! If you aren’t satisfied, we will refund you within 14 days of enrolling.
The Better Screen Time 14-Day Guarantee
If you don’t feel the Hub is helping you reduce screen time, restore family connection, and raise kids who thrive—email us within 14 days of enrollment and we’ll refund your money. No questions asked.
I can’t say enough good things about Andrea Davis’ betterscreentime.com. Her teens and tech class nails it for me. I couldn’t figure out how to bridge the gap between screen avoidance of the younger years and a functioning young adult using technology. My 14yo and I have had fantastic conversations based on her content. I’m so clear on how we get there—just like learning to drive, there are ways to do this.
You are so gifted at teaching classes online!! Thank you for all you do to bring your great resources to life, while peppering in your family anecdotes, which are very helpful and empowering.
I feel like you give exactly the right amount of details needed to do this work, and you do an excellent job addressing people’s questions and inviting others to weigh in. Bravo and thank you!
When I heard about the live 4 week tech course, I decided to sign up to help me get going again. It absolutely did that for me.
I loved being involved and discussing with other parents and I learned so much from Andrea and the special guests. It really gave me the BIG picture to see the steps I needed to take. The program helped me build on the already existing relationships and head right into having tech talks with my girls.
I’m very grateful for Andrea and Tyler and the work that they have put into Better Screen Time to help all of us parents pioneer through these times where technology is such a big part of our kids’ lives and can change the trajectory of their lives.
Andrea has been so helpful and always responds when you have questions or need help. I recommend taking any and all of their courses to help with getting a handle on technology in your family.

A Personal Note From Andrea
Many years ago, in the chaos of a cross-country move, we handed over an abandoned smartphone to our 12-year-old.
She is the classic oldest child—super responsible—the kind of kid that cleans her room without being asked.
The phone seemed like a good idea. She could stay connected with old friends and we could reach each other in a place where we didn’t know anyone.
Months passed…
One day our daughter came home from school and while spooning cereal into her mouth with one hand, she was scrolling with the other hand—and not talking to me.
It used to be a “How was your day?” moment, but suddenly the phone was more important than our daily chat. I wondered where my kid went.
A few months later I was leaning over the kitchen counter looking at my own phone when I came across a video of our daughter lip-syncing an inappropriate song she found online.
I knew she didn’t really grasp the meaning of the lyrics, but I realized at that moment we had failed her. We had given her too much too soon.
My husband and I agreed we needed a major tech reset in our home.
We replaced the smartphone with a brick phone that had no internet access (all we had then). There were many tears. As parents, it was one of the most challenging, yet smartest things we’ve done to safeguard our family from the harms of the online world.
I don’t wish this experience on any other family. And I know many of you are navigating something even harder.
I don’t say this to scare you, but to help you understand that when you hand a device to a child you are handing them the world.
We can’t completely protect our children from all the harms out there, but we can prepare them (and ourselves!).
With my background in secondary education, I set out to create a new approach to kids and tech—a Team Approach to Technology™—centered on relationships, delaying, and mentoring, not just monitoring.
The result was our courses, Creating a Tech-Healthy Family and Untangling Teens & Tech.
I’ve loved hearing how the principles in our courses have changed the tech trajectory for so many families at a critical point in their lives.
And guess what? It changed our family’s path, too.
That 12-year-old girl is now in college.
Her college admissions essay flashed back to the painful goodbye to that smartphone, life with a brick phone (temporarily!), her mom’s Tech Talks, and eventually realizing that because of those screen time limits, her ears were covered when the world was telling her who to be.
The last line in her essay says it all..
“I found myself on my own. I know who I am.”
And that my friend, is my hope not only for my own kids, but for yours, too.
To know who they are before social media, peers, the news, strangers on the internet, or influencers tell them who they should be. Those voices are loud.
Our kids need us now more than ever.
That’s why I’m inviting you to join me in the next step on this slow-tech journey…
This is the part where we link arms and lead ourselves, our families, our schools, and our communities to…
BETTER SCREEN TIME.
