What you'll learn

  • Advice that only says to cut screen time, delay a phone, install controls, or talk more, without a way to hand responsibility over
  • Not knowing what to say when a child reports a purchase, a picture, a contact request, or something upsetting
  • Treating a child who can operate an app or an AI chat as ready to judge ads, privacy, and pressure
  • Age-by-age practice for a five-year-old, a nine-year-old, and a twelve-year-old
  • A plain idea of commercial design: someone may benefit when a child clicks, buys, shares, watches, or stays

Written for parents of children in the primary-school years
