Digital Boundaries for Teens: How to Set Limits Without Losing Trust

Setting digital boundaries for teens is a delicate balance; too strict and you risk conflict, too lenient and screens take over. The solution lies in collaboration, communication, and mutual respect.

Strategies for Success

• Involve teens in setting the rules
• Focus on balance rather than punishment
• Encourage offline hobbies, sports, and social time
• Use screen time trackers as accountability tools

Healthy digital boundaries are not about control; they are about empowerment. When parents and teens work together, screens become tools instead of obstacles.
