Screen Time Negotiator
PROCreate enforceable iPad usage contracts with my kids using negotiation psychology, AAP guidelines, and iOS technical controls. Reduce screen time battles through mutual agreements.
Example Usage
“My 7-year-old throws tantrums every time we say iPad time is over. She’s currently getting 3-4 hours daily, mostly YouTube Kids and Roblox. We’ve tried taking it away but that makes things worse. I want to create a fair agreement she feels ownership over, with clear rules and consequences we can actually stick to. Help me draft a screen time contract and show me exactly how to set up the parental controls on her iPad.”
