Thousands of apps are available on smartphones and other devices. From health trackers to silly games, anyone can find an app for them. However, not all apps are appropriate for children.
Our app guides include information and guidance for parents to help support children’s digital wellbeing. Choose from app guides that help support balanced screen time, skill-building and wellbeing. Or, learn about different types of apps that could lead to harm related to contact from others, data or privacy concerns and in-app spending.
Too much screen time is a top concern among parents. However, there isn’t any official guidance on how much is too much. Instead, it’s more important to consider how children spend their time on devices. Are they spending 3 hours mindlessly scrolling through social media? Or is that 3 hours divided into skill-building, homework, talking to friends and playing a video game?
Our app guides feature a range of apps to help children explore new interests and balance their time online in positive ways.
