IMPORTANT NOTE: The contents herein are not intended to be construed in any manner as, or replace, actual medical guidelines, opinions, consultations, diagnoses, and/or treatments and/or to substitute for actual face-to-face medical or psychiatric services. In this book I address one or two parents, grandparents, or principal adult caretakers who love the child. I intend my suggestions to provide best guess starting point guidelines, which the reader can adapt to his/her own family‘s needs. Much in this book may be applicable to most children, yet some will not apply to all children or families. The guidelines provided in this book are not for every family. Because some families or youth may be too troubled, because minor disagreements can quickly become too sharp or violent, or because family members do not usually collaborate together well in planning or solving everyday problems. Attempting to install Family Media Plans in some homes can readily uncover existing major problems and conflicts. Parents in such families should avoid undertaking this project entirely. If such parents wish to install a Family Media Plan, they should be extremely cautious and expect only very limited and partial results and should do so only as a specific part of a regular ongoing treatment plan with a licensed qualified mental health professional. This type of project can actually be used in family therapy as a way to build healthier relationships. Examples illustrate important points. No example is totally real. At best, identifying details are heavily masked, ranging from condensed composites to plausible but fictional narratives of situations extrapolated from actual events. The products, services, media, or Internet sites cited, including those with proprietary names or registered trademarks, are not necessarily safer, better, more effective, or more appropriate than those omitted. The author‘s commercial or other relationships with any of the brands or commercial products, services, and Internet sites cited are fully disclosed to be solely MyDigitalFamily, Fitgoals, and Dr. S. All others are cited solely for purposes of illustration and example, and not for purposes of recommendation or endorsement. Any omission is unintentional and does not indicate disapproval of any service, product, or Internet site not cited.
