Teaches: Parenting utility, screen time

CTR Review

Lock your child's phone or tablet away, with this ambitiously designed parenting solution that promises device free "quality time." For just over $200 you get the toaster-sized device with room for two devices as large as a standard-sized iPad. It is possible to plug in different cable types that can fit either iOS or Android devices. Actual screen time is managed by two apps -- one on the parent's phone to control when the device is available, and on on the child's phone. The child's app (called TechDenJr) offers a warning when time is up, and gives children a reward so you can reinforce device putting away behavior. Kids can track progress toward the goals and the rewards they want to ask for. If your child does not return his / her device within 5 minutes of time expiring, you get a notification on your (parent) device via the TechDen (Parent) app. TechDen requires a home internet connection and a compatible router. Made in Australia.
