What this means
This instrument starts blank so it does not judge a made-up example before you have entered your own situation.
Formula used
Moral authority battery = child impact - parent contradiction - household phone hypocrisy signals
Worked example
A parent who doomscrolls in bed, checks the phone during conversations, and says 'just a minute' while holding it will score weaker moral authority than a parent modelling stricter phone habits.
Common questions
Does a low battery mean the rule is wrong?
No. It means the adult example is making the rule harder to defend, enforce, or take seriously.
What drains moral authority fastest?
Bedtime scrolling, distracted parenting, constant checking, and condemning behaviours the adult is visibly doing too all drain it quickly.
