Too often, dominant messages about screen time only ignite more anxiety without offering meaningful support or realistic next steps. In the wake of sensational headlines, parents and caring adults are left wondering: Am I being too strict? Too lenient? What does my kid need from me?

Instead of helping, these messages often push us into “battle mode” with young people. This often comes at the cost of what teens need most: caring connection with adults as their digital worlds expand.

There’s another way. Together, we can spark community conversations about teens and screens that are grounded in science, strengths, and the developmental possibilities of adolescence. Reading It’s Their World as a group will help you:

• Cut through the noise with clear, research-backed insights about teens and technology
• Replace guilt and fear with realistic, developmentally tuned strategies that reduce risk and build on young people’s strengths
• Stay connected to your teen even while setting boundaries that matter to you
• Build a supportive network of parents and caregivers so no one has to navigate digital parenting alone

We created this Parent & Community Read Starter Guide – to help you launch meaningful conversations in your home, school, or neighborhood.
