If your kids have their own mobile devices, you may want a
way to track and control what they’re doing. The best parental control appsoffer ways to limit time spent on the device, and as our Most Useful App of the
Day, today we have one of the best ones – timekid for both iOS & Android.
Why timekid?
Timekid solves a problem that all parents in the 21st
century know all too well: children who spend too much time in front of
laptops, pads or smartPhones. Timekid is essentially a clock, which counts down
agreed upon time. Once the child is on an electronic device, the clock is
started manually, when it stops or pauses, the clock is stopped. The default
settings for time per day are 3o minutes for weekdays and 60 minutes for
Saturday and Sunday. In addition, time can be added or subtracted for the
current day.
Spend more quality time with your kid
Timekid is based on trust, because children are very willing
to adhere to agreed rules if they are consistent and applied fairly. With the
kids version of timekid the children can also check on their own device to see
how much time is still open. This version does not allow any changes to the
rules, but it has an additional feature: demanding quality time with the
parents. If the child clicks here, the addressed parent receives a message that
will immediately open the calendar. Sometimes it takes such little reminder of
how valuable and short the childhood of our "digital natives" is.
At the end of the day you deserve more quality time with
your kids and you need to protect them from all the negative effects that can
be caused by technology. Download timekid for free and easily manage your kids
screen time.
