Why work with Emily?
My mission is to empower parents to better understand and balance family screentime by building a Tech-Intentional™ movement.
Relationships
Before we can change anything else, we have to start with relationships. Relationships before screens, always.
Research
There is a lot of tech-funded "research" about the benefits of technology. My recommendations are rooted in the science of childhood development from independent researchers.
Balance
It’s not practical to ban technology. It is critical to find a sustainable balance that keeps our children safe and reinforces our core values.
Courage
I believe deeply in what I teach. It's why I am not afraid to speak up and fight for what is best for children, not companies.

In The Screentime Solution, Emily teaches parents to become “tech-intentional”: using screen-based technologies to enhance, nurture, and align with family values while avoiding, delaying, or limiting screentime that interferes with healthy mental, physical, cognitive, and emotional development.
With humor, empathy, and experience, Emily invites parents to:
become tech-intentional, without feeling judged, shamed, or blamed;
implement her research-supported, developmentally appropriate tools to find screentime balance; and
build a movement around tech-intentionality (this is good for everyone―children and adults alike).
The Screentime Solution will remain useful even as technology changes because being tech-intentional is an approach that can―and should―remain a constant.
