Screen time coaching for families who’ve tried everything.
You haven’t been failing - the advice has. Limits, timers, taking the iPad away: none of it touches why the screen pulls your child so hard in the first place.
So that’s where we start. One-to-one, we work out what’s really pulling your child in - whether they’re ADHD, autistic, or a child who just can’t seem to switch off - and build a plan around how their mind actually works, so it holds without a fight every night. Twelve years in schools, autistic and ADHD myself: I don’t understand the pull from a textbook - I live it.
Daniel Towle · Screen Time Expert
“When parents feel like they’ve lost control of their children’s tech usage, they can call up Daniel Towle.”— Heather Kelly, The Washington Post
12 years in schools watching this arrive. The same patterns now play out in families worldwide — whatever your background.
“I feel like I’m losing my kids. And I don’t know how to get them back.” — the friend who started all this.
Background
12 years in UK schools, latterly as Head of Technology — delivering parent workshops, training teachers, and watching screens change children through COVID, in the room every day.
Lived experience
I built a YouTube channel to 40,000 subscribers and 2 million views, so I know why the algorithm hooks — it hooked me. I walked away from a lifetime of gaming and cut my own screen time without willpower.
Autistic & ADHD
My brain works the same way as the children I help — the dopamine loops, the “just one more”. I know the pull because I feel it. That insight helps with every child, however they’re wired.
These kids aren’t broken. A child who bypasses every parental control is showing you raw problem-solving. The potential is already there — screens are just being used as a crutch instead of a tool. I help families make screens work for them.
I’m not a therapist. I’m not a tech company — I built a method that actually works.
