Something to talk about
One question, asked once, with no right answer and nothing recorded about how it went.
Together
Something to do with your child, away from the screen. The measure is a moment finished together, not minutes watched.
What Together Time is
A short activity an adult leads: a question worth asking, something to make with what is already in the house, a way to end the day quietly.
It follows the story rather than replacing it, and it ends. There is no next one queued behind it.
The kinds of thing it suggests
Something to make
Made with paper, hands and whatever is nearby. No purchase, no kit, no app required to finish it.
A way to wind down
Quiet things for the last ten minutes of the day, when the point is to stop rather than to do more.
What Together Time will never be
- No streaks, no badges for turning up, no reward for time spent on a screen.
- No notifications aimed at a child, and no countdown telling anyone they are about to lose something.
- No leaderboard, and no comparison between families or between children.
- Nothing plays automatically after something ends. Finishing is allowed to be finishing.
