Looking to challenge your child with educational content at their grade-level while they're engrossed in games, videos or social media?
TimeoutIQ® helps you manage, monitor and educate your child while they're on their mobile device wherever they may be.
Think of it as Child Supervisor and Personal Tutor all in one.
Set the Grade level for your child anywhere from Kindergarten to Grade 8 (Ages 3 to 11). TimeoutIQ®'s quality curriculum is designed by educators to automatically display Math, Science, Geography and English quiz questions/challenges from a vast library that's growing every day.
Children are not the same and neither are their screen habits. You know your child best. If she's an avid reader and is using her device for high quality educational content, that's a great thing. Personalize her screen time and set daily limits or extend/reduce them. Easy, peasy!
Is your child acing all the questions/challenges she's asked? Good for her. Must be getting her smarts from her parents!. Go ahead and award her with bonus screen time. Set the number of answers to get right and the amount of bonus time with the flick of your thumb.
TimeOutIQ® allows you to monitor app usage and logs the amount of time, number of questions/challenges and number of right/wrong answers.
TimeOutIQ® gives you the option to turn on location tracking on your child's device. Also very handy if she loses her phone or forgets where she left it last .
Is your child too smart for her grade? TimeOutIQ® automatically increases the level of questions/challenges beyond the grade level that you set.
Our library of content is designed based on the Ontario Elementary Schoool Curriculum and was compiled by teachers and education coaches.
Whatever the grade level, the questions and challenges are meant to make your child stop and think. The benefit of doing this is it distracts and interrupts your child's recreational screen time - stuff like games, videos, social media... and acts as a refresher to what they're studying at school.
This helps them get familiar (and a little more comfortable) with math and science and aids in getting better grades.
Limiting recreational screen time to less than two hours a day, and having sufficient sleep and physical activity is associated with improved cognition, compared with not meeting any recommendations, according to an observational study of more than 4,500 US children aged 8-11 years old published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health journal.
Taken individually, limited screen time and improved sleep were associated with the strongest links to improved cognition, while physical activity may be more important for physical health.
However, only one in 20 US children aged between 8-11 years meet the three recommendations advised by the Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines to ensure good cognitive development – 9-11 hours of sleep, less than two hours of recreational screen time, and at least an hour of physical activity every day.

The link between sedentary behaviours, like recreational screen time, is unclear as this research is in the early stages and it appears to vary depending on the types of screen-based activity.

...screens are not all bad. In fact, emerging technologies offer unique opportunities for education, research, medical care, and more. Digital resources in classrooms allow students access to a myriad of resources, perspectives, and interactive platforms to expand and enrich their education

The solution is to talk about screen time. Make an agreement about where, when, and how you are going to use your devices. And take some time to enjoy your device with your family, perhaps by watching a movie. The American Academy of Pediatrics calls this “joint media engagement.” The group says it’s the best way for kids to grow up healthy in our digital world.
