"Parents are losing the screen time battle, I think it's time they started winning!"
I'm Daniel Towle, a digital wellbeing coach based in London with a unique perspective: I've been where your family is right now. After personally overcoming gaming and social media addiction, I spent 12+ years as Head of Technology helping over 1,000 families navigate the challenges of screen time battles and digital dependency.
Now my mission is to help families worldwide build healthy digital wellbeing practices that last. My approach isn't about going cold turkey or confiscating devicesโit's about exposing the psychological tactics big tech companies use to keep both adults and children hooked, then teaching families how to break free from these manipulation patterns and achieve genuine digital wellness.
Whether you're dealing with Fortnite obsession, TikTok overuse, or daily device battles, I provide evidence-based strategies that address the root cause: understanding how these platforms are designed to be addictive, and learning practical ways to reclaim control and improve your family's digital wellbeing without constant conflict.
