1. Connect with your kids by sparking conversation about what they're watching

Children are curious creatures but sometimes need a little nudge from us to get chatting about their interests. While this generation of parents is more digitally engaged than ever, a lot of screen time happens without us looking over their shoulders. Asking open-ended questions about what children are consuming can spark interesting conversation while enhancing their cognitive and communication skills. Questions strengthen how children can actively consolidate knowledge, rather than consuming content passively. Getting kids to think about what they're consuming on screens encourages them to stay curious, see the bigger picture and develop their critical thinking. Sharing content together also provides easy conversation starters. Joint co-viewing experiences are great contexts to boost learning and bonds between parent and children.

Open-ended questions are a wonderful way to stretch children's curiosity, reasoning ability, creativity and independence. When watching educational content on the BBC, children can reinforce their learning with your help. Open-ended language about their favourite interesting shows could include;

● "Tell me about... what the Octonauts found...."
● "Why do you think... the Stegosaurus has a spiky tail? "
● "How can we... help David Attenborough protect the Earth?"

By prompting conversation together about what's on kids' screens, you can both connect by exploring the bigger picture and take the chat to some interesting places!

2. Use screen-time as a tool to navigate large, difficult conversations

Screen time is not only a great way to prompt conversation with your kids, it is also a fantastic tool to use for introducing difficult topics and navigating conversation around them. Sometimes we struggle to find the words or examples ourselves to broach hard and necessary subject matters with children. From matters such as dealing with a new family member, moving to a different home, school or country and difficult emotions or loss. These subjects can be approached safely by engaging first with content which explores the specific theme. Searching for content on a reliable site such as BBC iPlayer, CBeebies and CBBC provides easily accessible and catered resources which address the issue. Find what you are looking for first and then go to your child with the content and a rough idea of questions you can ask them about it. Using open-ended style questions will keep the communication open and flexible for your child to express themselves. Children learn best through scaffolding of information. Watch, then talk about the content first: what the characters are doing, what happened, how they felt etc. Then relate the content to what your child may be experiencing, asking if they are experiencing something similar and how they feel about it. The shows will have specific examples for you to refer back to, ensuring understanding and an open line of communication between you and your child.

4. Use screen-time regularly and moderately to help kids develop a healthy routine

We know that a regular routine is key for children's healthy sleep, neurological and physical development. What we consume and when is also a key part of our routine. Content that is selected for a certain time of day and integrated into regular routines, can help children regulate their natural rhythm better. Setting an allotted time for regular screen-time in moderation can help contribute to a healthy routine. This can also be part of how you integrate limits around screen time use. After-school TV programming, playing games or apps allow kids to unwind during a key transition period of the day. By taking time to have child-appropriate entertainment, this lets children reset and get ready for evening activities such as tea-time, extra-curricular clubs and homework. Another key time of day that can often be tricky for us to settle children is bedtime. Specific bedtimes with some pre-bedtime specific content can help when children won't settle. The BBC provides specifically designed content, such as In The Night Garden which was developed by sleep specialists to help calm children for bedtime.

5. Find content that has your kid's best interests at heart

Passive screen time with repetitive content is not the best brain food, but feeling comfortable with what your kids consume on screens becomes a lot easier when it's been designed with children's development in mind. Particularly if your little one needs additional help, making sure content sources have specialist credentials means the content can be trusted and in line with key child development milestones. There's a plethora of content on BBC that has been designed by specialists and experts in child development so that you can take a step back and feel reassured by the quality of your child's screen time. For example, Yakka Dee was designed by Speech & Language experts and Love Monster was developed by child psychologists to help children process emotions. Screen time can also provide practical information, to help children prepare for unknown experiences, such as learning about medical emergencies with Operation Ouch! By engaging with content first, this can help reduce children's anxiety and stress when faced with the real thing e.g a medical emergency, starting school, going to the doctor's / hospital.

With the BBC, there's always something for the adults too. The BBC and CBeebies websites have a ton of advice on making positive screen time choices and helping children make the most out of engaging with safe screen time and getting the most from their content.

6. Pick playful, digital learning resources

There is increasing evidence on how important play is to maximise our learning and developmental potential. Digital play is now recognised as its own classification of play which can provide a host of benefits such as strong language, problem-solving and even social skills. Children can now learn through play in ways previously impossible before technology. Credible apps and games are fantastic sources for kids to learn while having fun. When we introduce playfulness into educational contexts, studies have found that we actually learn better! BBC Education provides a variety of fun and educational games in line with the UK curriculum. With BBC Bitesize there is fun content for every subject. The CBeebies app and website have fantastic games which are tailored for families to enjoy and to develop children's specific skills, such as learning, bonding, self-expression and discovery.

When produced well, digital play can provide excellent developmental benefits. We all learn differently and technology provides the opportunity to have educational fun for children who would find traditional classroom settings tricky or who need to supplement their learning at home. Research has demonstrated that digital play such as maths games and apps can even help with the engagement and comprehension of reluctant learners. Games and apps could therefore be particularly helpful for children whose learning has been affected by home circumstances, the pandemic and those with additional needs.

10. Find content with positive, diverse and inclusive representation to help all children feel understood and succeed

Studies have shown that diverse and inclusive representation in the media for children plays an important role in their development, growth and positive self-image. Children model themselves based on the people they see around them. We all idolise certain figures as children, fictional or real, which drives our external motivation. If children don't see those who look like them in inspiring roles, they will struggle to emulate and relate to an aspirational role model. On the other hand, if children aren't used to seeing people who are in different circumstances, they'll struggle to develop empathy for them. The BBC holds itself to high standards, representing diverse and inclusive communities across its services and content for children, such as JoJo & Gran Gran or The Dumping Ground. On CBBC, children can watch the documentary series My Life which explores the highs and lows of children across the world, such as Ukraine refugees, children with additional needs or those following their passions and dreams. Exploring other children's unique stories gives children the opportunity to grow compassion and understanding for others.

Watching positive role models or talking about how their favourite characters behave can help children think about and develop positive behaviours. Watching a show such as Hey Duggee, can help children learn how to share and develop empathy skills. By seeing others do important work or acting out scenarios such as helping others, children can learn positive values and life lessons.
