Episode 36 helps fathers break the unhealthy screen-time battles that create tension at home. Instead of reacting from frustration, Dan encourages dads to identify the values beneath their concerns and build simple tech rhythms that support those values. Through a practical 30-day experiment, fathers can move from being screen cops to intentional leaders who model healthy technology habits.

• 00:00 — Introduction to screen influence on family life
• 00:43 — Recap of family values and sibling repair
• 1:01 — The tech loop challenge: trigger, react, fallout
• 2:09 — Emotions tied to screen battles
• 6:12 — Aligning tech habits with family values
• 8:09 — Establishing intentional screen-free times
• 11:13 — Example of a simple tech rhythm
• 12:10 — The 30-day family experiment

“You can become the kind of dad whose presence, not whose anger, sets the tone for how your family uses technology.”

For the next 30 days:

1. Choose one or two values you want to protect (presence, connection, rest, faith, responsibility).
2. Create one simple tech rhythm that supports those values.
3. Make one change to your own screen habits and model it consistently.

Ask yourself at the end of the month:

“Did this rhythm help our family experience more connection, presence, or peace?”
