myScreenTime Released for the Holidays; the Perfect Gift for a Child Who Loves Digital Playtime

  HAMPTON, NJ - 11/22/2017 (PRESS RELEASE JET)

Parents, family, and friends scurry from store to store, website to website seeking the perfect holiday gift for that extra special child. myScreenTime, a simple way to manage screen time use, might be the answer if that child loves digital playtime.

There is little doubt children will receive electronic gifts this holiday season. 2017 Gift Guides and Best Gift Lists include many new devices. Some marketed directly for children, like new tablets from Amazon, LeapFrog, and Nabi. 

Tablets for kids come as no surprise since 42% of children already have their own tablet according to the 2017 study Media Use by Kids Zero to Eight by Common Sense Media. This is a significant increase from 7% just four years ago. It is no wonder the American Association of Pediatrics is asking parents to set time limits.

That makes myScreenTime a great gift for both parent and child. It offers everything a parent needs to manage a child’s recreational screen time, yet it feels like a game to children, who quickly understand how it works and eagerly follow along. 

myScreenTime is designed for ages 4 to 10 and uses brightly colored tokens and fun components to engage the child. It is available in 3 different colors (blue, purple, yellow) and comes with tokens, timer, containers, piggy bank, and a parental handbook with worksheets. 

Backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, myScreenTime is a physical product that does not require technical setup and is not tied to a particular device. This means myScreenTime is ready to use in 2 minutes and tracks time on any device including tablet, computer, smartphone, video game and even TV. Plus, myScreenTime can be used at home, at the babysitter’s, visiting grandma or anywhere.

Corinn Hilbert, developer of myScreenTime and grandmother of its first user, encourages parents with younger children to use a no-tech tool like myScreenTime because “busy parents need easy and children want some control. When you have both, there is willing participation between parent and child and that’s what you need to make it work”.

myScreenTime is not available in stores. It can only be purchased at www.getmyscreentime.com where limited quantities are available at an introductory price of $24.95 (a $5 savings) through the holidays. For questions or comments, please email help@ruleswork.com or call Corinn Hilbert at #908-200-7855.
