Teen screen time can be about more than the screen. 

When your daughter is still on her phone after midnight, what might she be seeking, soothing, or avoiding? 

Rach looks beneath the behaviour to explore teen girl emotions and nervous system regulation, and offers mums a more curious way to understand and respond to late-night phone use.

If you’re listening to this thinking, “that’s me,” I’ve got something for you.

It’s called Connect the Dots.

It’s a really simple guide to help you slow down, look at what you’re actually seeing, and then zoom out and consider what else might be going on for your daughter.

You can grab it for free here.
