Reclaim childhood from digital devices-and rediscover the wonder of real life

Screens dominate modern childhood. The average child spends 7.5 hours a day on digital devices, leaving parents worried about anxiety, disconnection, and lost creativity. Childhood Unplugged offers a proven path to reclaiming childhood—without guilt, shame, or unrealistic rules.

Written by journalist and parenting expert Katherine Martinko, this inspiring guide helps families replace screentime with meaningful, hands-on experiences that build confidence, curiosity, and connection.

What You'll Learn

How to reduce digital dependency and set healthy screen boundaries at every age.

The hidden links between screen use, childhood anxiety, and attention challenges.

Practical strategies for nurturing independent, resilient kids in a tech-saturated world.

Real-world stories from families who've successfully reclaimed childhood—no tech meltdowns required.

Ways to make outdoor play, creativity, and boredom your family's greatest teachers.

With a warm, evidence-based approach, Martinko blends neuroscience, family psychology, and digital minimalism to show parents how to raise happier, calmer, more grounded kids.
