Are there any apps youre happy with your teenager spending time on?

Hi Mums and Dads,

A parent nearly losing hope in the battle for screen time.
I have three kids and have a full time job etc and am close to just accepting that screen time is here to stay. Are there any apps you would recommend that I download to at least make sure that their screen time is productive and positive?

There is a lot of negativity out there - so just looking for something they will actually use that's positive.

Thanks!!

Duolingo is quite popular with the kids these days.. not the best for learning a language but quite fun.

Ah I was also going to say Duolingo. Yes it won’t make you fluent in French but it all
helps.

We use duolingo as well. Our kids also love simple coloring apps or youtube kids. We use screen time as a motivation, so they only get daily allowance after their must-do tasks for the day are completed. Makes a big difference, so kids behavior (like helping out with chores) would impact how much time for videos or games they would earn
