How to Finally End the Screen-Time Struggle: A 14-Day Reset for Parents Who’ve Tried Everything

🎮 The Screen-Time Struggle Is Real

If you’re a parent of kids aged 7–13, you know the nightly routine:

  • “Just five more minutes!”

  • Cue arguments, tears… sometimes a full-blown meltdown.

It’s not that kids are lazy or defiant. Screens are built to hold their attention. When you try to step in, their nervous system reacts like you’re cutting off oxygen. That’s why it feels like war.


🚫 Why Most Approaches Fail

Parents often try:

  • Taking devices away cold turkey

  • Adding more rules and restrictions

  • Threats, bargaining, or bribing

These don’t stick — because kids aren’t part of the solution. Without a system, rules crumble and conflicts spiral.


✅ The 14-Day Reset: Calm, Not Chaos

That’s where PivotPal, the companion app, comes in.

Here’s what makes it work:

  1. Day-by-Day Quick Start

    • Open the app → see a 1-minute checklist.

    • No guesswork, no overwhelm.

  2. Family Tech Contract

    • Fill it out in the app.

    • Download a signed, printable pact kids actually respect.

  3. 15-Minute Pivot Coach

    • Launch a timer during transitions.

    • Get exact phrases to say — feels like having a coach in your pocket.

  4. Progress Dashboard

    • Track meltdowns, calm nights, and screen minutes.

    • Export a summary to see your wins in black & white.


💬 What Parents Are Saying

  • “Our evenings are finally calm.”

  • “I don’t dread homework time anymore.”

  • “The contract was a game-changer — my kids actually respected it.”


🧩 Why This Works

  • Kids respond to structure + choice

  • Parents need tools, not theory

  • PivotPal gives both: scripts, routines, and progress you can measure

It’s not about banning devices. It’s about restoring balance and connection at home.


🌙 Take Back Your Evenings
