Back To Basics - The Screen Time Formula

Everything you need to know to take the stress out of screen time.

Letting your kids use screens without feeling guilty is what every parent around the globe dreams of!

"Back to Basics: The Screen Time Formula" course, used by over 300 happy parents worldwide, is a step-by-step course guiding you through the process of creating, implementing and maintaining a screen time formula that works for YOUR family.



I know how you feel and what you are going through.

The everyday frustration of screen time.

How long should they be allowed online? You constantly asking them to put their device down and them constantly asking you for 5 more minutes! Refusal to do chores around the house. Dwindling interest in sports. When did it get to be so draining?

Where did your balanced family lifestyle go and how do you get it back?

Well, I can show you.

I can show you because I decided to put an end to the craziness that was screen time for our 3 kids (9, 13 & 16). I used my background in IT and Cyber Safety and created a step-by-step approach designed to create the perfect screen time formula for any family.

Then I used this approach to help my clients get their balanced lives back. And now I have created a self-paced, online course that you can have lifetime access to.

Too much screen time puts kids at risk……..

  • Mental Health Issues
  • Cyberbullying
  • Social Issues
  • Online Grooming
  • Screen Addiction
  • Poor Schoolwork
  • Deteriorating Physical Health

"You don't need to get rid of screen time entirely.

What you need to do is find a balance."

For parents who are ready to reset screen time in their home and create a healthy technology plan for their kids.

Arm yourself with the information to make informed decisions about how and when your child uses their screen.

Go from anytime, anywhere screen time to a healthy, balanced lifestyle with clear media use guidelines and improved family relationships.


Here's what Trudy had to say about the course:

"My 8yo daughter was getting more and more into Minecraft, kids messenger, and utube ( ughh) and the time she spent on devices had gradually increased to the point that we needed to reign it in. My partner and I were also guilty of browsing social media a little too much at times so we decided it was time to look for a screen time management strategy that would suit our family and give us back the family time that was slowly diminishing.

The Cyber Safety Tech Mum’s “The Screen time formula” online course allowed me to work through the video tutorials in my own time and provided all the resources needed to get our family screen time strategy together. I particularly liked the fact that it was not a ‘one size fits all’ solution, but offered information and pros/cons on various strategy approaches we could take to build a bespoke strategy around our family values and commitments. It was also good to find out about the numerous parental controls that are readily available on most devices and apps to help enforce the rules!

The course was easy to follow and navigate, and had a logical approach that worked in well with the printables and workbook.

Thanks Nic – After a few negotiations and challenges we now have a very well thought out and agreed on plan that gives us a great starting point for a more balanced life! The dogs are ecstatic 😀'

I am a wife and mother to 3 wonderful girls. When my eldest daughter was old enough to be online, I decided to put my 20+ year IT career skills to use and dive into the Cyber Safety space.

My speciality is parental control settings and through my research and own life experiences, I love to talk all things screen time! I have been working with families for years and now I want to share all of my systems with you so that you can take the drama out of screen time in your home.
