Screen Smart is loved by parents because it: - Breaks the spell of your child’s screen addiction. - Makes children responsible of their screen time. - Builds knowledge in Math, Geography and Language based on parents and child interests. Our promise to Children - Help you take control of your screen time with a healthy balance of fun and meaningful learning. Our promise to parents - No more fighting over screen time. - A predictable and fair mechanism for your child to learn and be awarded with screen time. - You control subjects learned based on your child’s interests and needs. We created Screen Smart because we see screen addiction among children as one of the largest challenges of our time. We are parents ourselves, so we know exactly how difficult it is to avoid that children end up as screen zombies. We have kept the app simple to drive healthy educational breaks because we know that it works. Once you have passed the initial threshold to install Screen Smart on your child’s device, and explained to your child that they are now in control of their screen time, the reward is less arguing and you will notice that your child actually learns with our app. In contrast to many of the educational apps that exists, your child needs to use Screen Smart to gain screen time. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have ideas how we can improve Screen Smart. By downloading and sharing, you're contributing to reducing screen addiction among children around the world.
