Samenvatting:

Phones and tablets can be brilliant tools and relentless troublemakers in the same day. They help children learn, relax, and belong - and they also spark nightly arguments, chip away at sleep, and quietly crowd out conversation. Screens Without Screams is a practical guide for building a calm, workable household plan: clear rules, fewer grey areas, and routines that make the right choice easier for everyone.

Reema Sanzari helps you create a family screen plan you can actually keep. You will set screen time rules that match your child's age and temperament, using age based screen rules to decide what is allowed, what is limited, and what is off-limits for now. You will establish device free zones that protect meals, mornings, and bedrooms, and design a realistic bedtime phone limits routine that reduces late-night spirals. Along the way, you will learn how to offer appealing replacements, build healthy digital habits, and use parental modelling to remove the "but you do it too" problem.

Most importantly, this book shows how to handle resistance without becoming the technology police. If you are tired of repeating yourself, negotiating every switch-off, or dreading the next conflict, you will find scripts and structures that reduce handling screen tantrums and keep your relationship intact. This is for parents and carers who want less arguing and more connection - with technology in its place, and family life back in the centre.
