4. Agree to time windows - and a timer - your kids can set and manage. No matter how inspiring the content, time limits for support media balance. What parent wants to negotiate every 90 seconds until shut down? See our favorite time management platforms that sit over your kids' screens below. But, you can do what we do: our kids set their device timers (with loud alarms) and agree to shut down when they hear the bell. It only takes a few "I forgot = no screen time tomorrow" to keep the timer strategy strong.
5. Share what works with your community and parenting partners. Weigh in - on public forums and with your spending - dollar votes count. Our best parenting resources are each other. We trade more tips, solutions and watch outs in carpool lines, school hallways and sports sidelines than any amount of "expert" reading can deliver.
Find what works for your family and share solutions. We built easy share features on SmartFeed so you could quickly share titles and great playlists with friends, kids' friends' parents, sitters, kids' teachers and family.
The more we all "vote" with our media spending for good stuff - the more great content - content creators will make. Who would have guessed - even 5 years ago - McDonalds and Safeway would re-engineer their menus and shelves to stock nutritionally better family food? Lo and behold McDonalds launched an organic burger and Safeway developed a private label brand for organic food.
Your parent vote matters. You can make it count every time you spend on more inspiring media. SmartFeed is here to make it easy for you to find - the good stuff.
