Screen Time Wellness Coaching

Parenting in the current era brings a unique set of challenges, with digital devices—smartphones, tablets, TVs, and watches—becoming integral parts of daily life. Add in the lasting effects of social isolation from the pandemic, and it can feel like we’re navigating uncharted territory without a clear roadmap (pun intended!). Our children don’t automatically make choices that benefit their development, so as parents, we need a guide—at least a compass—to help us navigate this digital landscape. That’s where the concept of screen time wellness comes in.

​

Research continues to emerge about the impact of screen time on young children’s development, and with 90% of brain growth happening by age 5, it’s never too early to create a screen-time plan. Even small adjustments can make a big difference for your family.

Capacity Speech Therapy offers consultation and coaching to help families navigate technology use with intention—setting boundaries, establishing limits, and finding solutions that work for you. These services are tailored to your specific needs and can range from a one-time consultation to ongoing support.

​

Who can benefit from these services?

• Expectant or new parents looking for guidance on how to introduce technology in a way that supports their child’s development.

• Families with children of different ages seeking advice on balancing screen time across developmental stages.

• Families who rely on devices to keep the peace and are looking for alternative strategies.

• Families concerned about screen-related behaviors such as outbursts, poor sleep, difficulty focusing, or trouble with delayed gratification.

• Families wanting a screen reset, and guidance on creating and sticking to a plan for mindful reintroduction of screens.
