We Stopped Fighting About Screen Time (Our Summer Screen Contract)

Summer break is here, and for many families that means one thing: more screen time battles.

In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, Bobby and Katie Fredericksen share the Summer Screen Contract that helped their family stop arguing about screens and start building responsibility, freedom, and healthy habits.

Instead of becoming the screen police, we discovered a simple system that encourages our kids to read, learn, train, help around the house, and enjoy being kids before reaching for devices.

In this episode, we discuss:
• The screen time mistakes most parents make
• Why education works better than punishment
• How to create an "earn before you burn" system
• The importance of boredom, creativity, and outdoor play
• Practical ways to set screen boundaries without constant conflict
• How to prepare your children for a healthy relationship with technology

Whether you're raising young kids, tweens, or teenagers, this conversation will give you practical tools to create more peace and less conflict around screens this summer.
