Reset Your Child’s Brain Testimonials
Hear From Parents how screen Fasting can change a child’s Life
Following are testimonials gathered over the years from families who have implemented the Reset Program, also known as screen fasting, tech or electronic fasting, for 3 to 4 weeks minimum. Many did it for much longer. Click specific categories, or search on conditions or diagnoses relevant to your child (ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, tics, psychosis, delays), symptoms (tantrums, rages, self harming, poor focus, etc), or dysfunction. In some cases I added descriptive titles, but the testimonials themselves are verbatim – typos and misspellings and all.
I’ll be adding testimonials continually, including results from families who followed the Reset guidelines longer term, so stay tuned!

Autistic 6-year old becomes “new little boy” after screen fast
M: My six year old son was diagnosed with high functioning autism, ODD, and generalized anxiety disorder when he was 5 years old. He has been on medication since before then, and we’ve had him in all kinds of therapy. We recently took him to a new developmental psychologist, who suggested (almost or...

We started on June 11, so have just completed the 3 weeks with truly miraculous results. We had looked at pretty much everything else as the caus...

Revelation for 11-year old after dropping video games
Your book was the best thing that has ever happened to our family. I have attempted to monitor gaming and internet use in the house by nothing during the week but an hour a day on weekends. This rule was always challenged by the 11 year old son. I noticed he was organising his life around his techno...

“Buy this book!” – iPad and tantrums, Reset experience
Reset Your Child’s Brain has transformed my children in ways I couldn’t have even imagined four weeks ago. I am embarrassed to say that my 3 and 7 year old boys were playing the iPad up to 10 hours a day (they each had their own. I can’t even believe that, but they did). I had suspected for some time t...
