Children, Media Use, and How Parental Controls Can Encourage
Healthy Development
From the first day of life, various forms
of media can have an impact on children. It typically begins
with television in infancy, leading to video games in grade
school, and ultimately, Internet use soon thereafter. Surprisingly,
it is not just the content of TV shows, websites, and video
games that affects children. The amount of time spent in front
of a screen is just as significant as what is displayed on
the screen. Through appropriate parental controls on screen
time, children can benefit from the best of both worlds–the
wonders of technology and the parental guidance needed for
healthy development.
 According to Common Sense Media, the average
child spends about 45 hours per week watching TV, surfing
the Internet, playing video games, and being occupied by other
forms of media. While there are parental controls available
to screen content on individual devices, until now there has
not been one device parents can use to manage and monitor
Internet usage, TV usage, and video game usage.
Invented by parents who appreciate technology
but understand that children need to live more balanced lives,
the Mikko Que is the best
parental control available for managing children's screen
time in a healthy, non-confrontational way. The Mikko Que
provides parental controls for:
- Internet usage
- Video game playing
- TV viewing
- Parents who want to create individualized
schedules for each child
- Parents who need a device that’s easy
to use
While the Mikko Que is simple to use, it
is truly state-of in its abilities. Do you want an Internet
block that cuts off the signal when your child should
be offline? Mikko can do that. Do you need computer
monitoring when you're not at home? Mikko can do that,
too. Are you concerned about video
game addiction? Mikko can help establish healthy patterns
early on and may even be able to help kids wean themselves
off excessive screen time.
