Use TimeTokens for Teaching Children to Manage Screentime
When Big Girl wanted to watch a Barbie show this afternoon she came to the TV room with a 30-minute TimeToken and a timer to ensure she didn’t spend too much time watching TV. Wow.

When Steve Jobs was asked in 2010, that his children must love the i-pad he replied “They haven’t used it.
