Many are getting glowing endorsement from
parents, who are saying that their kids love the apps,
and they’re learning to match numbers, letters and
colours as they play.

6. eLiteracy is already crucial for most teens’
and young adults’ social lives.
According to Nielsen, the average American
teen sent over 3300 texts per month in 2010

7. Today’s toddlers’ social lives will become
more and more digitally driven as they grow
up. Texting, facebook, twitter, foursquare, and
likely others digital networks that don’t even
exist yet will likely be central to their social
lives.
That means that TechnoTots will need digital
skills as they grow up. It helps to start
learning these early.

The American Association of Pediatrics recommends that
young children limit their screen time to no more than 2
hours each day.

11. But how can today’s busy parents
ensure that this happens?

Receive updates on your child’s activities from your
FAMILOVE system via twitter, SMS, email or our
app, which is available for android, iOS and
Blackberry devices.

19. You can program the
FAMILOVE system with a
time limit for your child’s
electronic device use,
using your computer or
smartphone.

20. The FAMILOVE system will
notify you if your child
exceeds this time
allotment, or requires your
attention for another
reason.You can then tend
to your child, or have
FAMILOVE relocate him or
her to your FAMILOVE
bubble (if you have one).

electronic gizmos, and
perfectly safe. It supplies
your child with HEPA

fresh air. Straight from
the great outdoors. And
best of all, it’s right in
your back yard.
Your child arrives directly from his or her play area
through a fun, slide style chute.You can retrieve
him or her at your convenience.

22. The FAMILOVE System
Automatically limit your child’s technological
exposure and monitor his or her playtime.
