Want More Screen Time? Learning Breaks First, Buddy
For Ages 7 to 13
Parents Make A Stand!
Require Educational Videos (That Still Entertain)
Videos are many kids’ favorite content on the Internet. And they often spend hours on end watching meaningless videos.
Exasperating for us parents, right?
Try this: The first 30 minutes of screen time must be EDU-TAINMENT aka educational yet entertaining videos on topics you choose.
What I’ve learned is that kids DO enjoy great content. Young minds thrive on stimulation. But fascinating educational content is rarely what video platforms’ algorithms push to their feeds. They are shown increasingly attention-grabbing videos —often content that’s not just useless but inappropriate for kids.
But how to find great content?
Conceivably, you could take it upon yourself to look for it as the parent. To find, validate and check suitability for age, safety and commercial upselling—avoiding manipulative influencers—would take you hours each week!
Not many parents could sustain that.
With Learning Break, in a few seconds you can find great content that fits your criteria AND your kid’s interest. Reviewed for parents, by parents.

Fun Activities that Nudge Kids Offline
As parents, we’re all aware that screen addiction is a serious problem. And yet, screens are essential to communicating, learning, research and connecting. While there is no getting entirely away from them, most kids spend far more time than necessary on digital devices.
That’s why an important focus of Learning Break is to help nudge kids offline. We rate videos on their ability to encourage hands-on activities that kids do in the real world. Plus we tell you what materials are needed and the difficulty of experiments—helping you set your kid up for success!
