One simple rule protects kids from sleep deprivation, sketchy content, and online predators — and most parents aren't using it.
Julianna Lorenzen, co-founder of Healthy Screen Habits, shares the one non-negotiable rule every family needs: no screens in the bedroom or bathroom. She breaks down the "5 S's" — the five dangers that screens behind closed doors expose children to — and explains why the real battle isn't parents versus kids, but families versus Big Tech.
With over 200 episodes of evidence-based, scientifically-backed research, Julianna has helped thousands of parents shift from policing screen time to teaching genuine digital self-regulation.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
➡️ Why rigid screen time limits fail (and what actually works)
➡️ How tech companies exploit your child's psychology and physiology
➡️ The collaborative approach that ends screen time battles
➡️ How to teach kids to be the boss of technology — before it bosses them
This isn't about demonizing screens. It's about raising kids who use technology intentionally.
