Meet Heather Barnard: 

Your Screen Time & Digital Wellness Partner

Helping Parents, Teachers, and Schools Navigate the Digital World with Confidence

Hi, I’m Heather! As a mom of three teenagers and a teacher with over 21 years of experience, I know firsthand how overwhelming raising kids in the digital age can be. From negotiating gaming time to managing social media and screen battles, I’ve been there—sometimes gracefully and sometimes… not so much!

What I’ve learned? Kids don’t respond to lectures or rigid rules. They need conversations, trust, and understanding. That’s why I’m here—to empower you and your kids to create a balanced, healthy relationship with technology.


Why I Do This

Digital Wellness Is More Than Screen Time Limits

Our kids need digital skills just like they need math or swimming and driving lessons. As a certified digital wellness educator, I’ve spent years helping families and schools develop tools to teach digital wellness and media literacy, guiding kids toward smarter, healthier online habits.

What Sets Me Apart


A Unique Blend of Experience



I understand the struggles—screen-time battles, app obsessions, and the famous “But everyone else has one!” My mission is to make digital wellness approachable and achievable for everyone.

How I Can Help You

Parents: Get tools to set limits, foster meaningful conversations, and build balanced tech habits without constant battles.

Schools: Collaborate to create digital literacy programs and guide students and teachers toward positive digital behaviors.
