What's inside

Before, during and after. All on one page.

With the exact words for the hard part. A few from the sheet:

  • Before it goes on“Two shows, then we make lunch.” (age 3+)
  • Let them run the timer“The timer says done.” (age 3+)
  • Warn before the change, not at it“Two more minutes, then the tablet goes off.”
  • Point at what comes nextNaming the next good thing gives them somewhere to go instead of something to lose.

Made by two parents. Every line on the sheet comes from the Joura app, which is built on published guidance for parents of young kids.
