  3. Here, under the 'App rules' section tap on 'Encouraged apps'

  4. Tap on the 'Get started' button on the Encouraged Apps Introduction page. Remember, this page will only show up when you are creating your first encouraged app.

  5. To encourage an app tap on '+ Add an app', choose the app you want to encourage, and save it.

  6. Select the days and daily goal you want your child to use the app, Select the Routines during which you want your child to be able to use this Encouraged app, and tap on the 'Next' button.

  7. Optionally, you can create a dedicated time just for the encouraged app or skip it.

If you want your child to form a habit of using the app without distractions, you can set up dedicated timings for it at this stage.

To create a dedicated time for the 'Encouraged App',

  1. Tap on '+' to add a schedule.

  2. On the popup, select start time and then tap on next, select end time, and then save!

  3. If required, you can add another schedule for the encouraged app.

  4. Select the Days on which you want your child to spend time on this app, and tap on the save button.

  5. Tap on the 'Next' button, and then tap on 'Finish'.

Additional Tips:

  • Focus on One App: It's recommended to encourage only one app at a time to help your child develop a habit effectively.

  • Supporting Apps and Websites: You can add supporting apps and websites. By doing this, the child can use these websites and apps during the encouraged app routine. Make sure that the child can benefit from these websites and routines.

  • Multiple Schedules: You can even add multiple schedules to ensure that your child gets the most out of the encouraged app
