POBI Resource Hub

Hi POBI Parents

Below you can download a short, printable guide for parents of kids ages 5–12.


The guide gives families one small practice per day to help kids notice how screens pull their attention, make stopping a little calmer, and build more self-direction over time.

What’s inside

In the guide, you’ll learn how to help kids:


  • Start screen time with more intention
  • Notice the hooks that make stopping hard
  • Create clearer exits from videos, games, and feeds
  • Calm the first few minutes after screens
  • Understand that their attention has value
