What to Do When Kids Refuse to Give Up Their Phone, Tablet or Laptop
Jan 29, 2026Have you been experiencing a lot of misbehavior with your kids, when it comes to devices?
For the last several weeks, I have spoken to so many parent clients about this issue, in my capacity as a confident life coach and clinical hypnotherapist that specializes in kids, families, and teens.
Parents are feeling at a loss, exhausted and frustrated, with kids refusing to give up their devices when asked, getting angry and even aggressive or violent when their devices are taken from them.
This is a problem for many parents, and leaves them feeling out of control of their kids, and frankly it’s not good for the kids either.
It’s important to get control back or the fighting and emotions will continue to escalate with more and more stress and chaos in the home.
When we successfully limit or even eliminate device use, kids themselves feel more in control, there is better behavior, more family connection and better relationships and communication between kids and parents.
I decided to create a video to teach you one option that I have been teaching my clients to help them regain control.
