What can I do with the TimeOutIQ app?
The app allows you to set the amount of screen time you want your child to spend on a smartphone or tablet. You can select the grade level of your child and the number of educational quizzes and puzzles that will display during their screen time. You can give them extra or bonus time too. You can monitor your child’s activity on your phone via an activity dashboard and log.
The questions are primarily STEM-related – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – with geography and English language skills as well. The educational content varies by grade from simple fun interactive games to more advanced topics for older children.
As of now, you will not be able to add your own educational content.

We store your device ID, email address, and name and mobile phone (both optional if you chose to add these to your settings > profile) as encrypted data. If you lose your smartphone/tablet, or we detect unauthorized access, we will reset/delete your information. Your information is also deleted when you uninstall the app. We do not share or sell your information to third parties.

When signing up for TimeoutIQ, you are asked to set up a personal PIN. You will be asked to enter this PIN when switching devices or accessing your child’s device to unlock it.
OTP is a unique time-sensitive PIN number delivered dynamically by the TimeoutIQ app. It is used for pairing devices or when you need to reset your password.

First, if the app will not install, check to see if you are running our current version and, if not, perform an upgrade. Getting the latest version often solves this common issue.

We Would Love to Hear From You

Whether it’s lockboxes or control apps, parents have searched far and wide for ways to reduce their child’s screen time. A new study suggests that the answer may lie in the parent’s own screen habits.

Using a phone in front of your child can have more of an effect than you might think.

The study, published this month in the journal Pediatric Research, shows that parents’ screen use is associated with increased adolescent screen time – along with problematic social media, video game and mobile phone use. Problematic use can include addictive behaviors such as withdrawal, building tolerance, relapse and obsessive thoughts, which may disrupt daily functioning, according to the study.

According to new research, “technoference” is real.

Toddlers who are exposed to more screen time have fewer conversations with their parents or caregivers by an array of measures. They say less, hear less and have fewer back-and-forth exchanges with adults compared with children who spend less time in front of screens.

Those findings, published on Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, make up one of the first sets of longitudinal evidence to confirm an intuitive reality: Screens are not just linked to higher rates of obesity, depression and hyperactivity among children; they also curb face-to-face interactions at home — with long-term implications that could be worrisome.

Parenting in the smartphone age is like taking a test with no correct answers. 

By now, we know that too much screen time can negatively impact a child’s mental health, brain development, and behavior. 

But it’s summertime. School’s out. You need to get work done; the kids are on your last nerve. Is it really that bad to let them while the day away on devices now and again?

Yeah, it’s not great. In fact, when it comes to the top “what not to do, let kids do” these days, it’s right up there next to encouraging them to get in a car with strangers or poke a raccoon in the eyeball. 

When researchers last year tracked the smartphones of 200 volunteers ages 11 to 17, they found teens weren’t just mindless screen zombies.

In fact, they used all sorts of strategies to try to disconnect:
Some left on “do not disturb” to silence never-ending notifications. Others charged their phones outside their bedrooms to help them get sleep.

A new study is tying excessive screen time in a child’s first year to lower cognitive skills later in life. The research, published Jan. 30, 2023 in JAMA Pediatrics, shows children exposed to screen time for an average of two hours a day performed worse on attention and executive functions at age 9.

Fortunately, there are recommendations from experts on what amount of screen time is appropriate for your child, depending on their age. There are also ways that caregivers can moderate and manage their child’s screen time to help ensure that kids have a healthy relationship with their screens.
