So, we teamed up with neuroscientists and child psychologists, armed ourselves with 50 screen time books, 100s of journal articles, and spent $10000's on courses, so we could finally create a screen time app that actually works.
Basing the app's functionality on Neuroscience, behavioral science, and psychology, we brought the age-old parenting technique, ‘Eat your carrots, and then you can get your cake’ to life. This in turn:
i) Reduces the potential for screen time to become habit-forming/ addictive
ii) Introduces delayed gratification to screen time - which has been positively correlated with long-term success (we’ve all heard of the marshmallow test)
iii) Encourages daily “micro-learning” which when compounded can be a very effective way to improve educational outcomes
iv) encourages kids to develop an overall healthy relationship with their screens, essential for their future education and employment.
All in all, the app has helped us say goodbye to continuous and repetitive screen-related tantrums and has allowed us to take back control of our own family life.
Now we’re delighted to share our Carrots&Cake app with you and allow you to join us on our healthy screen time journey.
