FAQs

Is gradual reduction or immediate cessation more effective?

We tailor our approach based on your child's needs. Gradual reduction typically leads to more sustainable results and better long-term adherence.

What if homework requires online access?

No problem. We understand this is part of today's education system. We will develop a device use plan with appropriate boundaries and schedules that accommodate academic requirements while protecting against excessive use.
