Chris Ryan

Digital Safety Coach & Founder, Tetherwise

I'm a dad of four and a digital safety coach for families working out kids and screens.

For years I worked in the cellular industry, and I was the person friends and family called when something broke, or when they had no idea what their kid was doing on a phone. Tetherwise is me doing that work on purpose.

No scare tactics. No one-size plan. Just a real conversation about what's happening in your house and what's worth your attention.

Does this sound familiar?

You're not behind. You're overwhelmed. There's a difference.

"I know I should have parental controls set up, but every time I try, I don't know where to start."
"By the time I figure out one app, my kid has moved on to three others I've never heard of."
"I don't want to be the parent who has no idea what their kid is doing, but I also don't want to be the one who goes overboard."
"There's so much information out there. I just want someone to tell me what actually matters."

What working together looks like

1 A real conversationWe walk through what your home looks like right now. The devices, the habits, the spots that cause friction, and where you'd rather be.
2 A plan built for your familyNot generic advice. Specific steps that fit your kids' ages, your house, and what you can actually pull off.
3 A 30-day follow-upWe reconnect a month later to see what stuck, what didn't, and what to adjust. The point is change that lasts, not a one-time chat.
