Digital Minimalism Consulting for Families

I am now offering one-on-one consulting for families struggling with tech creep in the home. If you are worried about how much time your kids spend on devices but don’t know how to change that, I can help you.

As the author of Childhood Unplugged: Practical Advice to Get Kids Off Screens and Find Balance (2023), as well as The Analog Family Substack, I am well-informed about the issues surrounding kids and tech. I stay up to date on all the latest research. I give regular interviews and presentations to groups across North America on how to implement digital minimalism. I have talked to countless families about their struggles with tech. And I am always learning from my own three children, whose ages currently span elementary, middle, and high school. In other words, I can relate both as a professional and as a parent.

Some reasons to have a consultation might be:

  • You feel overwhelmed

  • There’s tension and fighting over screens at home

  • Worried about screens are doing to your kids

  • Wondering what healthy habits look like

  • It feels too late to make a chang

  • You want help creating a solid action plan

  • Need accountability or encouragement

Questionnaire + 30-minute virtual consultation + personalized handout

I will send you a questionnaire to fill out ahead of time, which introduces me to your unique situation. We will have a 30-minute Zoom meeting to discuss your concerns and specific needs and to answer questions. I will follow up with a detailed document outlining my advice for you, based on our conversation. (We can arrange for follow-up meetings at additional cost if you want ongoing accountability.)

Digital Minimalism Presentations

I give talks to groups across Canada and the United States about kids and screens—what the problems are, what the latest research says, and what we can do about it. My talks run in length from 30-45 minutes and are followed by a Q&A period, which is reliably animated and engaging. This is a hot topic that every audience seems eager to discuss!

If you work for a school or are part of a community group, service club, or company that is interested in learning more about this topic, please get in touch. My presentations can be done both in person and remotely, and I will tailor each talk to the audience and any specific issues you’d like me to explore.

Rate: TBD (I have a sliding scale to promote accessibility) — Please contact me to book: knmartinko[at]gmail.com
