About this Event

Does this sound familiar?

  • Arguments over screen time that escalate fast
  • Your child shuts down or explodes when devices are removed
  • You feel like you’re constantly “policing” instead of connecting
  • Technology feels like it’s taken over your relationship

You’re not alone—and more importantly, this isn’t just about screens.

At Sunset Coast Family Therapy, we call this pattern Digital Dependency—when kids rely on devices as their primary source of connection, regulation, and escape. When screens become the only place they feel understood, every limit feels like a threat.


What You’ll Learn

In this workshop, we go beyond surface-level advice and show you how to:

✔ Reduce power struggles around screens
✔ Understand what’s driving your child’s attachment to devices
✔ Set boundaries that actually stick (without constant conflict)
✔ Rebuild connection so your child doesn’t need to escape into screens
✔ Respond to shutdowns, anger, and pushback with confidence


Why This Works

This approach is rooted in attachment-based therapy and family systems work, meaning we don’t just try to control behavior—we shift the relationship patterns underneath it.

Because when connection improves, behavior follows.


Who This Is For
  • Parents of children or teens struggling with screen overuse
  • Families experiencing daily conflict around devices
  • Parents who feel stuck between “too strict” and “too lenient”
  • Anyone wanting a calmer, more connected home
