It’s not like when we were kids. Television, video games, telephones, and school computers look very different today.
This. Is. Hard.
No other generation has ever had to deal with the algorithms and persuasive design elements that come with today’s streaming, gaming, smartphones, social media, or screens for school.
The solution is to build a Tech-Intentional™ movement rooted in real-world relationships.
It won't be simple. It’s not a quick fix. It’s challenging.
But it matters and it works.

Become Tech-Intentional™
Emily offers various services and price points to support a wide range of parents, communities, and organizations in their search to become Tech-Intentional™.
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.

A judgment-free guide for parents who want to better understand and balance family screentime in the digital age.
A judgment-free guide for parents who want to better understand and balance family screentime in the digital age.
Author Emily Cherkin―aka The Screentime Consultant―has written a compelling and necessary book about parenting in the modern digital age. Unlike any previous generation, children’s excessive screen use today at home and at school impacts mental health and family relationships.
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.
