After months of juggling maternity leave with building an app, I am so excited to finally share our website is LIVE 🙌 🐿️
Introducing ... Screen Squirrel, an app to help parents manage their children’s screen time by setting limits, scheduling breaks and providing personalised usage reports.
After having my daughter last August, the issue around screens became a topic of conversation in our house. I was already worried about how we would manage this as Saskia got older. It is VERY scary to see a tiny baby be drawn to screens. She could have every toy under the sun and I think she would always choose my mobile phone 😦
To start as we meant to go on, we became more conscious of our usage and even sold our TV. I think this was honestly one of the best things we’ve done - no regrets!
Having just been made redundant, and with the extra time on my hands, I started to build Screen Squirrel to help parents with similar concerns to me.
At the same time, the incredible book ‘The Anxious Generation’ by Jonathan Haidt came out and reaffirmed all my concerns with compelling evidence.
I’m a BIG believer in prevention and that’s why I’m so sure we need to start building healthy screen time habits EARLY, before mobile phones and social media are introduced 😬 I loved the podcast episode from Dr. Rangan Chatterjee with Dr Haidt who spoke about this exact thing!
