Our solution for the right screen time for children
The #3-6-9-12 rule by French scientist Serge Tisseron is the answer to the right, age-appropriate use of digital media in children. Anio supports your child on the way to a life with digital communication, without overwhelming it. We help you, based on the 3-6-9-12 rule, to go this path together with your child. Age-appropriately, we recommend you, suitable for every stage of life between 3 and 12, the right product!
0 - 3 years
No screen time for children under 3 years! Playing with your child is the best way to promote its development. Give up any media consumption!
3 - 6 years
You set clear rules for screen time, only watch TV together and talk about what you saw. You forbid any media consumption during meals and shortly before bedtime. At this age, your child explores its sensory and manual skills. It is extremely curious and wants to learn something.
6 - 9 years
You limit screen time and engage with your child's video games. You are aware that almost all games have public chats. It is now time to educate about both the dangers and the possibilities of the internet. For a smartphone, with all the associated risks, your child is still much too young. You talk to it about privacy protection and the right to one's own image. Perfectly suited for getting started with digital communication now is the Anio 5 Children's Smartwatch. A closed system enables secure family communication via app and smartwatch by phone or chat with GPS and SOS button, school quiet mode and much more.
9 - 12 years
From 9 to 12 years, your child explores the complexity of the world. You teach your child how to protect itself online from dangers and how to communicate and surf safely on the internet. You still determine the screen time and talk to it about what it sees and does there. Neither classmates nor other parents determine when your child can have a smartphone. This also depends on your child's personal maturity. Only you know when your child is ready! A modern smartphone has no parental controls at all!
In 2023, Anio fans for this age group can look forward to a great product!
