The apps are winning

Endless scrolling isn't an accident. It's a design pattern, and it keeps children hooked for hours.

Autoplay and infinite scroll

One video leads to the next without pause. Children lose track of time before they realise it.

Push notifications

Designed to pull children back in, often right when they should be winding down for bed.

The bedtime battle

Every night becomes a negotiation: "Just 5 more minutes?" It wears everyone down.

How Kairoo helps

You set the rules together. Kairoo coaches, so you stay on the same side.

1

Make an agreement

Sit down together and decide what feels fair — screen time limits, phone-free times, bedtime routines.

2

Kairoo coaches

When your child asks for more time, Kairoo checks the agreement and gives a clear answer, with a reason.

3

You stay the good cop

No more arguing over minutes. Kairoo does the reminding and the switching off, so you don't have to.

Our agreement

  • Phone off at 8:30pm
  • No phone at mealtimes
  • Daily screen time limit

Mum, Dad and Sam signed this agreement

You're no longer the "bad cop"

Kairoo does the reminding and the switching off, so it isn't always you saying no.

77% of parents said they feel like the bad cop when it comes to getting their kids off devices. (Kairoo Survey 2026, 500 parents of 8–12 year olds)

Fewer arguments, calmer evenings

When the app handles the limit, children accept it more easily than when a parent has to enforce it.

82% of parents said screen time limits cause arguments in their household. (Kairoo Survey 2026, 500 parents of 8–12 year olds)
