You don't need to fix everything at once. Start with one protected window. Here's how…

10/19/2026

Welcome. Whether you found me on your own or someone sent you this, I know you care about your family. That’s why you’re here.

I’m Dr. Larry Mitnaul, a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist and the author of The Screen Reset Playbook.

But the title I’m proudest of isn’t on a diploma. I’m a dad of seven. I’ve heard every version of “one more episode.” Head knowledge gets you started. Lived experience keeps you honest, and I’ve seen firsthand how technology has changed our kids, in the clinic and in my own home. So I’m in the fight with you.

My job is to take the science of mental health and digital wellness and make it easy to digest and act on. Because the home runs better when the adults decide ahead of time, not in the middle of the fight.

I’m not here to make you feel behind. I’m here to help you reclaim childhood for your family, one clear decision at a time.

Want to go deeper? I’d love to have you. My book, my Be Well Community where I meet with parents every month, and my speaking for schools, churches, and organizations are all in the link in my bio.

Now I want to hear from you. What’s the biggest challenge you’re trying to solve at home right now?

You don’t need to have it figured out. You need a system that holds.

Tonight, I had the privilege of visiting Brooks Magnet Middle School for Panthers Partner Night.

We connected with more than 100 families, shared information about The Screen Reset Playbook, and shared mental health resources with residents.

Community engagement means meeting people where they are and making sure families know the support available to them.

Thank you, Brooks Magnet Middle School, for bringing our community together.

Next stop, St. Francis of Assisi.

Grateful for Principal Mary Carter and Assistant Principal Fey Barles for creating space for this conversation. Every school that opens the door confirms what we already know, families are hungry for this dialogue.

I hear this constantly. My kid melts down right after school. Here's what I've learned: connection before correction. Reconnect first, then address what happened. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Next stop, St. Anne Catholic School.

Grateful for Principal Maira Silva and the parents who carved out time to be in the room. This tour keeps proving the same thing, families want this conversation.

I love when parents ask me this. How many hours of screen time should my kid get? The real question isn't the number, it's what it serves. Is it earned or expected? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Next stop, St. Patrick Catholic School in Kingman.

Thank you to Principal Joel Arnold and every parent who made time to be there. Kingman showed up, and it mattered.
