The Mikko Que: Advancing Child & Adolescent Health by
Managing the Use of Electronic Media
Health care professionals recently have
documented a startling rise in childhood and adolescent health
problems like obesity, tobacco use, drug use, sexual acting-out,
low academic achievement, and attention difficulties. Ongoing
medical research has shown that many of these childhood disorders
are linked to media use. Interestingly, it is not necessarily
inappropriate content on television, websites, or video games
that causes these childhood disorders. Instead, it appears
that excessive screen time with any type of media—appropriate
or inappropriate–also has a significant impact on the health
of our youth.
 Pediatricians and other physicians across
the country are advising parents to limit their children's
time in front of the TV, Internet, and video games, but this
is often difficult for today’s parents, especially if both
parents must work full time.
Invented by parents confronting these same
challenges, the Mikko Que is a revolutionary parental
TV control, video game, and Internet
control tool that is easy to use and gives parents an
all-in-one device to manage their children's screen time.
By connecting their televisions, Internet lines, and video
games into the Mikko Que, parents can quickly program the
amount of daily usage they want their children to have within
a specified time schedule range. The Mikko Que takes care
of the rest, even if parents are out of the home.

parental controls, please contact us today.
