Purpose matters more than a glowing screen. Look for a clear learning goal, age-appropriate pacing, useful feedback, room to think, and a natural stopping point. When possible, ask your child to show you what they discovered.
Keep it playful and brief
Follow your child’s attention, celebrate effort and stop before frustration takes over. The goal is to make another attempt feel inviting.
