The Screen Balance Blog
Thoughts on raising kids in a world of endless scroll — and helping them practice how to play, finish, save, and move on.

Emily and I have been married for almost sixteen years, together for almost twenty years, and have known one another longer than we haven't. We dated when we were freshmen in college and broke up because... well, we were freshmen in college. But we were able to remain friends after dating and years later found our way back to each other.
