Balanseby
A drawn town where parents and children explore, learn, play and build things together, with proper breaks from the screen. In Norwegian for now.
Course: The Parent Guide
An essential course for parents who want to get screen time, apps, gaming and social media right. The goal is calmer, more confident kids.
Screen time for kids, a complete guide
The Norwegian Directorate of Health's numbers for every age, and the steps that make the limits actually hold. I've done the research, you have the conversation.
Design, not willpower, drives kids' screen time
The Norwegian Media Authority has read the usage logs from teenagers' own accounts: 15 to 20 short sessions a day, coming back every ten minutes. My take: the most important number is not 400 videos, it is the 29 per cent who themselves wish they logged off more often.

How do I stop the nagging and whining about screens?
Be consistent. A child who learns that nagging never works gradually grows into smarter questions and better arguments.
