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.
