Screen Time Accountability: The Complete Guide
Building awareness, not surveillance
Screen time accountability has evolved. The first generation was surveillance — logging every URL, sending screenshots, treating adults like suspects. It produced shame, not change.
The second generation — what Be Candid pioneers — is dignity-based accountability. Partners see patterns, not content. Therapists see themes, not transcripts. This hub explains how it works.
