FamilyBreak: Better Us Project

FamilyBreak by The Better Us Project

Screen time shouldn’t be a battle.

FamilyBreak is the smarter, calmer way to manage screen time, helping families move from conflict to connection.

Instead of constant reminders to “put your phone down,” children earn their screen time through real-world actions that build positive habits, confidence, and connection.

No arguments. No power struggles. Just a system that works.

HOW IT WORKS

Kids complete short, meaningful daily missions, acts of kindness, mindfulness moments, creative challenges, and family activities.

Each completed mission earns Sparks.

Sparks unlock:
• Screen time
• Rewards
• Personal goals

Parents set the structure once, FamilyBreak handles the rest automatically.

A BETTER WAY TO DO SCREEN TIME
