Two Homes, One Digital Childhood is for separated parents who share the daily work of raising children across two households and want to coordinate screen time, content rules, and device habits without turning every conversation into a dispute.

The book starts from a simple premise: identical rules in both homes are rarely achievable, but minimum agreements—small, mutually acceptable norms that hold across both households—are. It walks through how to map what each home actually looks like digitally, then guides parents toward shared floors on bedtimes, mealtimes, school-night limits, and a short list of content both households agree to keep off-limits.

Practical sections address the friction points that tend to derail cooperation: the child who reports that the other parent allows something you don't, the communication habits that let agreements survive handoffs, and the quieter challenge of households where resources are uneven. The book also covers how to set a review schedule so that rules can evolve as children get older without requiring a fresh argument each time.

The final sections include a sample minimum-agreement worksheet and a set of conversation starters and scripts for parents who want a low-friction way to open or reopen the discussion. Nothing in the book touches custody arrangements or offers legal guidance. The focus stays narrow: workable digital norms that two parents can actually agree on.
