How do you stop daily screen time fights with your kids?
Many parents worry about how much time their kids spend on devices.
Two things keep happening.
When it is time to stop, the arguing starts.
And on busy days, kids ask for more time. Parents give in. One hour turns into three. Homework and chores get ignored.
Even with screen time limits, the pressure stays on the parent.
I am building Screenwise app around a simple idea.
The device is locked by the app.
Kids can earn screen-time by learning STEM
Each correct answer earns 1 to 5 minutes of screen time.
The more they learn the more they can play - up to the limit set by the parent
Instead of asking for extra minutes, kids complete short learning tasks to unlock them.
They control how much time they earn.
The goal is to reduce fights and remove daily negotiation.
