Screens & Connection

The screen-time conversation has been stuck for a decade. Limit it. Battle it. Take it away. None of that has worked, because the assumption was wrong: screens aren’t competing with connection, they’re often the easiest path to it. The articles here take that seriously. You’ll find concrete co-op game picks for every age and player count, scripts for talking to your kids about the games they actually play (Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, Mario Kart), and frameworks for turning a family gaming session into the kind of shared moment that becomes part of how your family talks about itself. Written by a parent who plays, for parents tired of feeling shut out of the worlds their kids care about most.
