It didn't happen all at once.
First the toys stopped coming out. Then dinner needed a screen. Then bedtime did. Nobody chose it. It crept in on the tired days, and then it stayed.
That isn't bad parenting. These apps are built to be hard to put down, and you were handed no plan for taking them away.
It's all still there underneath.
The puzzles, the stories, the mess in the kitchen. None of it went anywhere. It needs the screen out of the way, and something ready to take its place.
How the week goes
The honest version: it gets harder before it gets easier. The plan tells you what is coming each morning, so nothing catches you out.
The Clean Break
Screens go away. They test whether you mean it.
The Hard Day
Louder and longer. The day you'll most want to give in. You'll have the words ready.
The Turning Point
The protests lose steam. A first glimpse of them playing on their own.
The Shift
Fewer requests. Calmer mornings, less negotiating.
Finding Their Rhythm
They start things without being asked.
The New Normal
Screens may not come up at all.
Reset Complete
Agree the rules for when screens come back.
This is the usual pattern for the Full Reset, not a promise. The Gentle Reset takes the same steps more slowly. Every child is different.
Why the last attempt didn't stick
It was never a willpower problem. Nothing replaced the screen.

Word for word, from the plan
"I know you really want it. It's having a rest this week. Lego or garden: you choose."
"You're really cross with me. That's OK. I love you, and the answer is still no."
"Can we try a seven-day reset together? I'll do the planning. I just need you to back me up."
"Just one rule while they're with you: no screens at meals or before bed."

Questions
Is this about banning screens for good?
No. You choose a route first: the Full Reset puts screens away for seven days, the Gentle Reset cuts them back step by step. On Day 7 you agree the rules for when screens come back, and the contract keeps them in place.
Will there be tantrums?
Probably, mostly in the first few days, and Day 2 is often the hardest. The plan tells you what to expect each morning and gives you the words to use.
My child is only 2 or 3. Is that too young?
No. Ages 2 to 5 have their own scripts and their own targets in the plan.
My child is 10. Is it too late?
Ages 9 to 12 have their own chapter, covering games, group chats and the first phone. They help set the rules, and the plan gives you the words to start that conversation.
My partner isn't on board. Can it still work?
There is a script for that conversation. If they won't sign up to everything, the plan has a fallback: three rules you both keep, at meals, in the bedroom and a daily limit.
What happens after the week?
The plan carries on for weeks two to four. It shows you how to set up parental controls on tablets, phones, TVs and consoles, and has pages for holidays, illness and the days it slips.
What do I get, and how?
A PDF by email straight after you pay: 90 pages, with six printables. Read it on your phone and print the pages you need.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is general information for parents. If you are worried about your child's behaviour, sleep or development, speak to your GP or health visitor.

Seven days, one plan, and the words for the hard moments. The puddles are still out there.
