Positive review from customer (Jo) who modified it and successfully got kids to stop begging for screentime

Don't fight over screen time, make the most of it! Screens can help your kids learn important, real-world skills they will need as adults:

Create digital media and presentations
Read news, do research, manage financial accounts, create reports
Communicate effectively across states, countries, even continents.

Introducing your kids to these digital experiences is a great way to help prepare them for their adult lives. Instead of limiting screens, broaden their horizons by having them do an online activity from each of the 4 lists before repeating any. You can easily edit these lists as well to add your own ideas.
