A gentle way to get your phone back
Kids love scrolling through photos and videos of themselves. Getting the phone back is often a little tug of war. A visual countdown helps: they can see the time running down, and when it's up, the fox goes to sleep. It's not you saying no, it's just bedtime for the fox.
How to use:
- Pick 1, 3 or 5 minutes and tap Start before you hand the phone over.
- Give a heads-up: "When the fox goes to sleep, the phone goes to sleep too."
- When time's up, the fox walks into his tent, curls up and is tucked in. Say goodnight to him together, then the phone comes back.
