63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 14 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at what screens displace in your child: the room they take up in the day, falling asleep and the quality of rest, concentration and schoolwork, and what happens at the moment of stopping. The report places each of these four aspects on the basis of your observations.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

Why take this test?

The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of the place screens have taken in your child's life, Screen time, Sleep impact, School impact, Difficulty disconnecting. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
