Let’s face it -** screens are a hot topic right now**. Between video games, social media, and streaming everything from cartoons to slime tutorials, it’s a digital jungle out there for our kids.
And believe it or not, we totally agree that nothing beats the good old outdoors: bikes , soccer games, epic stick battles in the backyard… or just hanging with friends
But here's the truth: screens aren’t going anywhere. Whether it’s a tablet, a smartphone, or the ever-present TV, they’ve become a daily fixture - especially since the pandemic. And if you're not one of those unicorn families with access to horseback archery on Wednesdays and underwater fencing on Saturdays , then yeah... screen time management has probably become your new part-time job.
So, what now?
At PowerZ, we’re parents too. And we’ve shaped our approach around 3 big ideas that help make sense of the screen-time struggle.
Kids love games. And they’ll spend hours playing them. So instead of fighting the current, why not channel it?
We created PowerZ to turn gaming into a launchpad for learning, curiosity, and creativity. Think of it like digital judo: using their love of games to get them engaged and growing.
Unlike passive screen time (hello, 14th episode of that talking puppy show), PowerZ is interactive, skill-building, and designed to spark imagination.
We recommend playing PowerZ in ~20-minute sessions. It’s just the right amount to hold attention, keep things fun, and avoid the meltdown zone.
You can monitor and manage your child’s playtime easily with our free companion app on your phone.
And for those who like the science behind it, our recommendations are backed by Dr. Serge Tisseron’s 3 -6 -9 -12 framework, which helps guide healthy screen use based on age.
The internet can be wild. PowerZ isn’t.
We’ve built a game world that’s kid-friendly, wholesome, and 100% free of weird strangers or shady stuff. Here’s what that means:
And most importantly? It’s fun. Like, really fun. Kids ask to come back - not because they’re hooked, but because they’re curious and invested.
THE SWEET SPOT
Here’s how we see it: screen time is like chocolate.
It’s delicious. It’s everywhere. And a little bit can even be good for you. But too much of the wrong kind? Yeah, not ideal.
So let’s choose the good kind - thoughtful, age-appropriate, and balanced with plenty of offline play and human connection.
