Screen-time coaches · KudoKids partner brief

Every talk ends the same way: "So what CAN they do?"

You've taught the room to set limits — then a hand goes up asking for a name, and naming one is one of the riskiest things in your business. The earned-time chart you hand out instead rarely survives the drive home.

Screen-time coaches in focus

How it lands in your workshops.

On stage and after the talk

The advice that survives the drive home

KudoKids is live on web, iOS, and Android — demo it from the stage or put it on your closing slide. At home it layers onto the limits you already teach: parents set the routines, kids earn Kudo Coins, and parents decide what the coins buy, including off-app screen time.

What parents can see

Parents see what they’re up to

The parent dashboard shows parents what their kids are earning, playing, and learning — now including drawing and short companion-guided exercises, so the earned time leads somewhere besides another game.

Routines — a real screen from the app

Why this matters

Three kids you already know.

The hole where the tablet was

A seven-year-old whose parents did exactly what you taught. The tablet went in the drawer Sunday. It’s Tuesday at 5:40 and he’s in the doorway with nothing he’s allowed to want.

American Academy of Pediatrics, Screen Time Guidelines — no single time limit is recommended for all children; rules about content and context are associated with better outcomes than rules about amount.

The child who stopped telling you things

The eleven-year-old who saw something that scared her and decided, in a second and a half, not to mention it — last time, the device disappeared for a week.

Young & Tully 2022, Cyberpsychology — controlling and punitive mediation was associated with more risky online experiences. The same literature files coin economies as controlling. Adolescent sample, cross-sectional.

The six-year-old who can make his own lunch

A six-year-old who has never been asked to do anything the household depends on. The screen argument is visible; the quieter problem is that nothing else in his day carries weight.

Tepper, Howell & Bennett 2022, Aust. Occup. Ther. J. — in 207 parents, children’s self-care and family chores predicted stronger working memory and inhibition. Cross-sectional and parent-report.

Honest answers

The first two questions coaches ask.

Q

I teach less screen time. Doesn't recommending a kids' app undercut my whole message?

It is an app with a growing library of games — we say so plainly. But Kudo Coins are earned off-screen through the tasks and routines parents set, parents approve completions and decide what the coins buy, and earned time can be off-app device time the parent configures. It puts "earned, bounded, intentional" — the thing you teach — into practice rather than arguing with it.

Q

Doesn't a paid recommendation cost me the credibility I sell?

Disclosure is required, not discouraged — we provide the disclosure sentence, and the recommendation stands on the free plan, so no family ever has to pay for your advice to work. It's the same disclosed-partner model the field's most trusted names already run. And KudoKids is founder-funded with no VC — no pressure to monetize families sideways.

Forward this

Three sentences you can paste to a family.

If you want one concrete place to start: KudoKids is a free app where kids 3–12 earn their screen time by finishing the routines you set — and you decide what that earned time buys, including time off the app entirely.

It doesn't replace your family's limits; it layers onto them — the tablet becomes something your child earns instead of something you argue about.

Full disclosure: I'm a KudoKids partner and may earn a commission if you upgrade — but the free plan includes everything a family needs, and that's the one I recommend you start with.

Swap in the exact wording that fits your newsletter, your closing slide, or the hallway conversation after the talk.
