You’re in the right place if you’re feeling overwhelmed by raising kids in a screen-filled world.

Chris’s Approach to Digital Parenting

I’m Chris, a licensed therapist and the founder of Tech Addiction Experts. I work with kids and families navigating screens and technology decisions every day.

I created this work because I kept seeing parents overwhelmed by advice that felt unrealistic, extreme, or fear-driven. What most families actually need is clear, practical guidance that fits real life.

At its core, this work is about slowing things down, building skills over time, and helping parents make thoughtful decisions, whether they are preparing for what comes next or trying to steady things when screens are already causing stress.

The Digital Driver's License

A self-paced course that helps families build the skills kids need before and after getting a smartphone.

  • 10 Short, Practical Lessons

    The course includes ten focused lessons that cover the most important parts of growing up online, from smartphone readiness and social media to scams, addiction, and digital permanence.

  • Go At Your Own Pace

    Parents and kids go through the lessons together, building shared understanding and language along the way. There’s no pressure to rush, just steady progress that fits your family.

  • Focus on Understanding, Not Fear

    Instead of rules built on panic, the course focuses on helping kids understand decision-making and digital judgment, so they are better prepared to navigate online situations when adults aren’t around.

  • Built for Parents and Kids

    Each lesson includes guidance for parents and conversation prompts to help you talk through these topics together, so you're building understanding and trust, not just setting limits.
