The Psychology of Digital Minimalism for Families

A Comprehensive Guide to Mindful Technology Use in the Modern Home

In an age when screens promise connection but often deliver distraction, this book shows families how to reclaim attention, restore meaningful relationships, and build a sustainable technology philosophy grounded in psychology and neuroscience. Combining developmental science, family-systems thinking, and practical tools, The Psychology of Digital Minimalism for Families is a compassionate playbook for raising resilient, mindful children and creating calmer, closer homes.

What you'll learn

• How digital stimulation shapes attention, memory, and emotion from toddlers to teens.
• Practical family-first strategies that go beyond arbitrary screen-time limits.
• Age-appropriate routines, conversations, and rituals that strengthen connection.
• Tools to measure success by relationship health, not just minutes on a device.
• How to adapt your family's approach as technology and children evolve.
