Your son is on the game again. Dinner is cold. You have called three times, and the third time you were shouting.
You have tried everything you can think of. You grounded him from the console and he found where you hid it. You took the tablet and he used your phone. Every conversation about screens ends the same way, and somehow you are the one who ends up apologizing.
Someone has probably told you the answer is simple: take the phone away and just talk to your kid. You have talked. That is not the problem. The problem is that every one of those conversations was about screens — how long, how late, why not, put it down. Your child has heard that conversation two hundred times and has learned to wait it out.
This book begins with the conversations nobody has had yet. What is that game actually giving him? What is she afraid of? What happens in their day that makes six hours of a screen look better than being present in it?
Nathan Driskell is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has treated internet and gaming addiction for more than sixteen years. He also spent six years of his own life inside an online game, through most of college, and walked away from it. When your child says you have no idea what this feels like, he does.
Thirty days. One short chapter a day. Most take fifteen to thirty minutes, and every chapter tells you what it will cost you before you begin. Four days ask nothing at all.
By Day 30, your household will have:
- A sleep schedule that holds, and bedrooms without screens in them
- A written contract everyone signed — including you
- The worst apps off the devices your child carries, with real limits on what remains
- An honest picture of what those screens are doing for your child, in their own words
- A plan for the ninety days after the thirty are over
What it will not do is cure your child in a month, and any book promising that is selling you something. What it gives you is a floor to stand on, and most families fighting this never get one.
Inside, you will learn:
- Why every reasonable argument you have made has bounced off a teenage brain
- How to tell ordinary heavy use from something that needs a professional
- Which apps to remove first — and why it is never the worst one
- What to do in the first ten minutes after you find something you did not want to find
- How to survive the week when most families quietly give up
- What backsliding looks like long before it becomes a collapse
Written for parents of children roughly ages 10 to 18. Where the answer genuinely differs between a ten-year-old and a seventeen-year-old, the book says so instead of leaving you to guess.
Fully revised and updated, with material on short-form video, AI chatbots, in-game spending, and what to do when screen use is hiding anxiety, depression, ADHD, or autism.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
