The Screen Strategy Session

Get unstuck on your biggest screen challenge

For parents of kids of all ages

Book a free Consultation

The one that makes you question yourself, lose sleep, or feel like you’re constantly winging it?

Maybe it’s the meltdown every time screen time ends.

The late-night gaming affecting school work.

Something inappropriate your kid saw that you weren’t prepared to address.

Or maybe you simply can’t figure out what’s reasonable anymore.

You know that one screen issue that keeps coming up?

You’re stuck in a loop

Maybe you’re clinging to the best solution you can come up with — even though you see that it’s just not working the way you’d hoped it would.

Or maybe you keep throwing ideas out there, hoping something will click. Your kid is confused (or let’s be honest, creatively finding the loopholes).

Either way, you’re second guessing everything.

You Google.

You ask other parents.

You read the articles.

But every piece of advice contradicts the last. Or none of it quite fits your kid or your family.

It’s time for a fresh perspective and a clear plan

Is one that feels true to who you are as a parent.

And talking it through gives you the chance to check in with someone who knows what they’re talking about and can look at your situation with fresh eyes and say,

“Here’s what I see. Here’s what might help. You’re not crazy.”

So you can stop spinning and feel confident in your decisions.

A clear plan that makes sense…

One that recognizes that…

Every kid is different. Every family has different priorities. Generic advice might not fit your kid’s temperament or your family’s rhythm.

And if it doesn’t feel authentic to you, of course you can’t stick with it. Not because you lack follow-through, but because the solutions genuinely aren’t the right fit.

But that’s hard to see because when you’re managing the daily fights and resistance, it’s nearly impossible to step back for a clear view, and strategize objectively.

Great - let’s get strategizing!

The Screen Strategy Session gives you space to think through your specific challenge with someone who understands both the research and the reality.

  • No generic articles.

  • No one-size-fits-all formulas

  • No crazy impossible to implement revolutionary changes to your routine

Just a focused conversation about your situation and what might actually work for your family.

Why trust me?

  • Expertise without judgment. There’s no “right way” to parent, and I won’t pretend there is.

  • Fresh eyes. I’ll look at your situation objectively and help you see what you might be missing.

  • Transferrable tools. My guidance is research-informed, but grounded in reality. We’ll focus on what might actually help.

  • Lots of ideas and resources. I’ve worked with hundreds of families and I know what’s out there, what tends to work, and what doesn’t.

I’ve spent over 20 years helping families navigate the messy, complicated parts of parenting — including managing screens.

I have a Ph.D. in developmental psychology, decades of professional experience, and specialized expertise in child development and learning, cross-cultural parenting, and digital life.

And importantly, I’m also a parent myself, so I know firsthand that fitting every kid, every situation, and every family into a neat little “research says…” package just doesn’t work.

More about me

With me you’ll get:

Tackle the screen challenge that’s been keeping you up at night

In our session we’ll untangle your specific screen-related parenting challenge

  • Identify what’s really going on (and what might be getting in the way of a solution)

  • Explore a few different strategies and approaches

  • Figure out what fits your family, your values, your priorities, and your kid

  • Create a clear, actionable plan that you can start implementing right away

What’s included

One focused 60-minute session and personalized action plan

Before we meet, you’ll fill out a brief intake form so I understand exactly what you’re dealing with

During our session together we’ll be super focused and directed towards pragmatic solutions

After you’ll get a follow-up email summarizing what we discussed and outlining your action plan so you can have something to refer back to.

Plus: two weeks of Voxer support after our call, to help you tweak and refine the plan as you put it into practice.

How it works:

Before the session

Get prepared. You’ll receive an intake form asking you to describe the specific challenge you want to focus on, what you’ve tried already, and why it’s not working. This helps me come prepared with relevant ideas and strategies. 

During the 60-min session

Get strategizing. We’ll get right to the heart of what’s happening, why it’s not working, and what might work better. Together we’ll talk through different approaches, identify what feels right for your family, and build a clear action plan.

After the session

Document it. You’ll receive a follow-up email summarizing our conversation and your action plan. So you’re not left trying to remember everything or second-guessing what we decided.

Two weeks of Voxer support

Troubleshooting and accountability. As you start implementing the plan, I’m available via Voxer to answer questions, troubleshoot challenges, and help you adjust as needed. Real life rarely goes according to plan; this support helps you stay on track.

  • Knowledgable and non judgmental approach allows freedom to explore in a safe space

    Before working with Mieke, I was feeling overwhelmed about most parenting issues. I felt like a failure, and that I lacked expertise…which ultimately would detrimentally affect my children. Mieke is really easy to connect with, and is also knowledgeable and non-judgmental.  That gave me the freedom to really explore my struggles in a safe space. I now feel much more relaxed, connected,  sympathetic to my children — and empowered to try various exercises. I’m even more inclined to take a chill pill and be intentional about which behavioural issues to address and which to let go of. One of my children has even started to try new self regulation techniques himself!

  • My relationship with my kids is stronger -- so I'm getting compliance through collaboration

    I started this program feeling like I lacked control of my kids’ use of media, and dissatisfied with their capacity for their own self control. After clarifying my goals and values around media usage, I feel much stronger. My anxiety is down, feelings of calm and competency are up, and I feel confident about staying firm on limits where they matter.

    Mihaela, mom of 2

  • Overall, we've taken the household anger index around the media issue way down

    It's so important to get a good understanding of your child's and your own relationship to digital tech / screen time. Mieke really helps you reflect on your own values and develop a thoughtul and realistic approach that will work for your family. My anxiety has really calmed down around my kids' relationship with the internet and their screens. I feel so much less anxious and more well-adjusted now. Before I had fear about my kid’s growing screen time, now I know how to help my kids (and myself!) establish balance.

    Chris, dad of 2

  • I wholeheartedly recommend working with Mieke

    I started with some doubts about how to set boundaries. Mieke was very kind and helped me reflect on how to handle challenges. I’ve gained valuable insights on how to build and maintain connection with my child whilst setting boundaries and providing guidance! Working with Mieke has grounded me and allowed a new perspective in many ways.

This is for you if..

  • You’re dealing with one specific screen challenge that keeps coming up

  • You’re ready to try a new approach and are open to seeing things differently

  • You want expert guidance tailored to your specific kid and family

  • You value practical, realistic solutions over rigid rules or quick fixes

  • You just want a check in with someone you trust to get you back on track

This is not for you if…

  • You’re looking for a magic formula that will fix everything overnight

  • You want someone to tell you exactly what to do without any reflection or collaboration

  • You’re dealing with multiple complex issues that require ongoing, comprehensive support (in that case, a longer program might be a better fit)

  • You’re not ready to implement changes or try something new

 FAQs

  • Yes. Whether you have a preschooler who melts down when the iPad goes away or a teenager gaming until 2am, we can work on whatever screen challenge is most pressing for your family right now.

  • We’ll focus on the one issue that’s most urgent or disruptive for you. Often, addressing one core challenge creates clarity that helps with other issues too. If you realize that you want more comprehensive support, we can talk about other options.

  • That’s exactly why two weeks of Voxer support are included. We’ll troubleshoot together and adjust the approach as needed. Real life is messy — strategies often need tweaking as you go. That said, Neither of us has a magic wand. If you’re looking for someone to give you a 100% guarantee of success, I’m too honest to be that person.

  • Not even close. I’m not here to judge or criticize. I’m here to help you see your situation more clearly and figure out what might work better. You’ll leave feeling validated and empowered, not defeated. That said, you are coming for help and that might mean changing something up in your approach.
