Family voice activities and screen-free play

📚 Screen Off. Family Voice On.

Make room for stories in your voice, playful sounds and little discoveries together. Start with an activity away from the screen.

My Family, My First School.

Small moments, familiar voices

A grandparent’s rhyme, a parent’s animal sound or a story about today can start an activity with no app at all. Follow your child’s interest, leave time for their response and keep an adult nearby.

For children under two, begin with live songs, shared books and face-to-face play. A product’s age label is not a recommendation to introduce a screen. For older toddlers, protect time for movement, rest and family conversation.

What does screen-free mean here?

Screen-free means the child is not watching or interacting with a display. Audio listening only qualifies when the display is actually off and no looking or tapping is needed. A video with music is still screen time. No app or routine guarantees less screen use, better sleep or faster development.
