One small step tonight. That's all it takes to start taking your home back.
You're a busy mother or a single parent. The dishes are stacked, the day is done, and your child is on a screen - again. You've read the headlines about what the algorithm is doing to their sleep, their attention, their behavior. You've tried the rules. You've tried the lectures. You've tried feeling guilty. None of it worked, because none of it told you what to do tonight. The Sanctuary Blueprint is not another list of everything you're doing wrong. It's a practical, evidence-based plan built for a parent who has more pressure than hands - starting from where you actually are: tired. What's inside: - Why the algorithm is beating you - and why it's not your fault. The science of attention, working memory, and dopamine, explained in plain language and backed by real research.

What's inside: - Why the algorithm is beating you - and why it's not your fault. The science of attention, working memory, and dopamine, explained in plain language and backed by real research.
- The fifteen-minute after-school window - the highest-leverage moment of your child's day, and how to protect it without a lecture.
- The family media agreement that actually sticks. Not rules you impose - a contract you negotiate together, with age-specific guidance for 6-9, 10-12, and teens.
- The replacement principle. You can't out-dopamine a billion-dollar algorithm - but you can offer something it can't: presence, boredom, and a home that doesn't compete with a screen.
- A blueprint for the single parent - every strategy adapted for the reality of being the only adult in the house. What this book will not do: ask you to be perfect, hand you a 90-day plan, or add guilt to your load. What it will do: give you one concrete action you can take tonight - one that moves the needle a single millimeter. Tomorrow, another. That's how sanctuary is built: one wall at a time, one night at a time. This is book two in the Raised by the Algorithm series. Book one, How the Digital Revolution Is Rewiring Our Children's Minds, is the diagnosis; this book is the fix. If you're outnumbered by the machines competing for your child's attention - this is your playbook.
