Frequently Asked Questions

📦 Product Details

Is the program based on real science?

Yes. Screen Lab is built on the neuroscience of how children's brains respond to screens, with a focus on the dopamine system that fuels compulsive screen-seeking. Every strategy has a clear "why" rooted in child development — it isn't opinion or generic parenting advice repackaged.

Does it work for all types of screens — tablets, TV, phones, gaming consoles?

Yes. The framework applies to every type of screen your child uses. Whether the issue is YouTube binges, tablet meltdowns, gaming sessions or background TV, you'll find the same principles broken down with practical examples for each specific context.

Is the approach strict and authoritarian, or more gentle?

Gentle and respectful. Screen Lab doesn't rely on shame, punishment or cold-turkey bans — those tend to backfire and damage trust. The tone is non-judgmental and works with your child's psychology, so real change happens calmly, without breaking the bond between you.

What happens after the 7 days — will the results last?

The 7-day plan builds the foundation, but Screen Lab also covers long-term maintenance. The printable Rules Chart keeps boundaries visible over time, and the SOS Protocol shows you exactly how to handle slip-ups — so progress holds well beyond the first week.

🧭 How To Use

Do I need to be an expert to apply it?

Absolutely not. Screen Lab is written in clear, non-judgmental language, designed for real parents. Each day offers simple goals and practical actions, with no complicated technical jargon — just step-by-step guidance you can follow without prior experience.

How much time should I dedicate to it each day?

Around 15-20 minutes a day is enough to read and apply the steps of the program. It's designed to fit easily into your family routine, without disrupting your day or asking you to clear your calendar.

Does it work if I have multiple children of different ages?

Yes. The guidelines are segmented by age range (2-5, 6-8, 9-12), so you can adapt the same program to siblings without having to start from scratch for each one. The shared family rules also help reduce conflicts between siblings.

Can I adapt the program to my child's pace?

Of course. The 7-day journey is the ideal structure, but you can slow down or repeat days based on your child's reactions. The included SOS Protocol also helps you handle relapses without losing the progress you've already made.
