Parent coaches are mental health professions helping provide parents with the tools to safely and effectively reduce the amount of time their children spend on screens.

“The evolution of tech devices and delivered content has not made child wellbeing a priority. Billions of dollars depend on the algorithms intended to keep our eyes on screens and legal action against the tech companies or child protection laws can’t replace adequate parental supervision. We have taken action and today are helping parents provide that supervision.”
