WISE Score
The ultimate 'I'm drowning in screen time guilt' antidote—free, ad-free, and actually backed by people who understand child development.
PBS Kids for Parents is the safe harbor in a digital world full of 'brain rot' and manipulative algorithms. It’s not just a place to park your kid; it’s a toolkit for you to actually parent in the digital age without feeling like you’re failing.
It is high-quality, research-backed, and won't sell your data to the highest bidder. If you have a child under 8, this should be your first stop before letting them wander onto YouTube.
Perfect for parents of toddlers through 2nd graders. Once a kid hits 9 or 10, they'll likely trade Daniel Tiger for Roblox, and the advice here becomes too basic for their developmental stage.
It is the gold standard for emotional health and social modeling. Everything here is designed to help kids understand big feelings, cooperation, and kindness without being preachy or annoying.
While the site is a resource hub, it excels at sparking offline creativity through 'DIY' projects, craft ideas, and play-based learning prompts that get kids away from the screen.
Zero ads, zero in-app purchases, and zero data-harvesting. There are no chat features or ways for strangers to contact your child. It's the safest sandbox on the internet.
The content is research-backed and covers everything from basic literacy to complex social-emotional skills. It's the opposite of brain rot.
