Put screens to bed

Put your tablet or phone in its basket for the night.

From about age 9, when many kids get their first tablet or phone, parking devices outside the bedroom at night is a simple family rule that protects sleep.

Try this week with your kids

Noki suggests a first week of quests and rewards for your kids. You change what you like before you start.

Why it matters

Screens in the bedroom make it harder to fall asleep. A shared parking spot turns the rule into a calm routine instead of a nightly argument.

Steps for kids

  1. Finish what you are doing and save it.
  2. Plug your device into the family charger.
  3. Put it in the basket.
  4. Say goodnight and head to bed.

How to teach it by age

  • Ages 9 to 10

    Agree on a time together. A grown-up reminds them 10 minutes before.

  • Ages 11 to 12

    They park the device on their own. Adults follow the same rule.
