When Screens Go Quiet
7 evidence-based steps for helping your child readjust, reconnect and flourish

When Screens Go Quiet explores what happens in families when the noise of technology fades. In the wake of Australia’s under-16 social media ban, Amit Khaira examines the emotional and relational shifts unfolding inside homes, reframing behaviour not as rebellion but as nervous systems recalibrating.Blending research, lived experience and practical insight, the book moves from distraction to depth, from performance to belonging and from isolation to shared care. Rather than fuelling fear about technology, it offers a hopeful, evidence-informed pathway for parents, educators and community leaders seeking to rebuild rhythm, resilience and connection in a digitally saturated world.
