What your child does online, how it impacts their mood, sleep, and relationships, matters far more than minutes on a clock. Shifting from “screen time” to “screen value” helps parents move beyond rigid limits and toward a more thoughtful, balanced approach to digital wellness in today’s onlife world.

The science is in. The platforms know. We can regulate this.
