The Stories We Don’t Tell About Screen Time
And I think I’ve been avoiding saying it out loud because… once I do, I can’t really take it back.
There is no one way to do screen time.
Not the right way. Not the expert way. Not the “if you just follow these five steps everything will be fine” way.
There’s only… your way.
Because technology is not standing still. By the time we think we understand something… it changes.
So maybe the goal isn’t perfection.
Maybe the goal is something deeper:
Raising humans who are thoughtful, grounded, self-aware, and able to build a relationship with technology that reflects who they are—and who they’re becoming.
That’s the heart behind Infinite Halls.
A space for honest, nuanced, no-judgment storytelling about parenting, technology, and the endless twists and turns of raising humans in the digital age.
No hot takes. No panic. No easy answers.
Just real stories.
Because maybe this isn’t something we solve.
Maybe this is something we learn how to navigate.
Together.
One family at a time.
One story at a time.

Summer + Screens = Chaos? Try This Instead

The Real Crisis Behind “The Anxious Generation”
A few weeks ago, I sat down with the principal of a high school here in Hong Kong. Over coffee, she leaned in and told me: "The biggest debate across every school right now? It’s not curriculum. Not testing. It’s not mental health. Not the pressure of college...
“Adolescence” on Netflix Wrecked Me—And Here’s Why Parents Can’t Look Away
This blog post is late. People have already moved on from the Netflix documentary Adolescence. We’re on to new things now—the end of White Lotus, anyone? But I should have written this the moment I finished the documentary. I couldn’t. It was too hard. I swallowed...
Is Screentime Really Addictive?
"I Think I Might Have an Instagram Problem"After a tough morning of getting the kid to school, jumping off client calls, and managing the chaos of lunchtime, I finally sit down with my afternoon pick-me-up coffee. I need a break. I open Instagram, hoping to find...
ChatGPT is my Mediator
It’s all downhill to summer now! The school year is clearly starting to wrap up. In May, I will need to attend a science fair, student run speakers conference, debate competitions, and not to mention loads of end of year celebrations. Final papers are due, and exam...

Inspiration is Irving Olson. He is the first amateur photographer to have a one person show at Grand Central Station in New York City. To say that Irving’s photos are stunning, is simply an understatement. Two dancing water droplets speak mountains about chaotic...
Re: ☎️👨🏻⛵️🐳 👌👁👄👁 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
