Studies on Screens
We put together an educational program that gives you all of the latest details on how screens impact a child's development, behavior and mental health. To help promote behavioral change, we brake down all of this info into 5 minute emails that are sent out daily. This makes change easy and consistent!
Better Communication
We provide example scripts so you know what to say and make recommendations so your conversations with family are successful. Use our Parenting Guide on Communication to improve all of your conversations including those annoying ones where you have to get the adults to cooperate on making changes.
Better Alternatives
Receive alternative activities that build a child up, instead of waste their time. These activities grow creativity, self esteem and life skills that make a big impact in a child's life.

On Call One-on-One Support
Need extra help with setup and strategy?
Some children have special circumstances they are working with, others have a strong video game addiction that will require more individualized help. A general challenge to reduce screen time will not work as well with these children.
But don’t worry!
CREATE works with Supportive Space Counseling to provide families licensed therapy services. Our program is overseen by Dr. Lindsay Scholz, who is a professor of adolescent and family therapy. She has Ph.D., LPC, NCC, CCATP, CAIMHP, CCTP, CGCS, C-DBT certifications and over 10 years of experience.
In addition to that, we have an talented staff of graduate students supporting this service, which means that individualized support that is affordable is always available!
This isn’t about radically changing your family dynamics or implementing rigid, unrealistic rules.
It’s about using CREATE’s Screen Challenge framework to help guide your child into becoming a responsible user of technology without frustration, confusion, or damage to your relationship.
The 22-Day Screen Reduction Challenge provides clear, incremental steps tailored for busy parents who care about raising healthy, balanced kids in the digital age.
Transformational Challenges:
Becoming a Better Parent in Just 5 Minutes a Day
CREATE provides parenting education to over 1 Million of families by making them simple to understand and engaging to work with. This challenge is another example of our work. It sources the most effective habit building strategies and puts it into bite size emails parents read in less than 5 minutes a day. Then use our bonus printable activity or worksheet to bring the lesson to life in your life.
Daily 5 minute lessons might sound strange, since we’re used to learning from long informative books, detailed lectures, and webinars. But life is extra busy right now and the added stress that kids add to the day make these longer formats hard to follow through on. That’s why CREATE developed Transformation Challenges that guide parents through creating a behavioral change with their child in incremental steps.
Instead of a big book or online course you have to separate time to complete, we organized a strategy that is based off of short, practical steps that you learn in daily emails. Each email takes just 3-5 minutes to read and a few more to do.
These Challenges focus on:
Being Efficient: Delivered daily emails so you can read quickly and act on fast.
Promoting Follow Through: Each email has a specific, doable action for that day that works towards your reduction goal.
Building Long Term Parenting Skills: Every day your parenting skills will improve, making these habits a natural part of your family life.
Keeping You on Track: Put the stress of remembering on us! Our regular reminders keep you focused and on track.
Learning About Yourself: Some emails help you reflect and grow as a parent.
The email guidance lets you choose when to read the lessons. Whether it’s at lunch, waiting for dry cleaning, or in the grocery store line, our educational emails can be read anytime, anywhere.
If you follow the tips we give over the next 18 days, you’ll start to see a change in your child’s behavior and their responsibility with smart devices. They’ll improve at taking breaks from them and using them more safely.
