In Superr., the "Free-time limit" is designed to help parents manage and balance their children's screen time, particularly for leisure activities. This limit ensures that children don't spend an excessive amount of time on devices for non-educational purposes, promoting a healthier digital lifestyle.Parents can set different free-time limits for weekdays and weekends, recognizing that children might have more leisure time available on weekends.Children can request additional free-time for one time in a day if they need more time for leisure activities. This request goes to the parents, who can then decide whether to grant more time.If your child completes their tasks or studies earlier, they can request additional free time as a reward. This can motivate children to be more efficient and responsible with their tasks and studies.

Remember, the goal of the free-time limit is not to restrict children unnecessarily but to encourage a balanced and healthy approach to screen time.


How can you explain this to them;

For Younger children (Ages 5-8)

Hey sweetie, think of your free time on the phone or tablet like a special treat, like ice cream. Just like we don't eat ice cream all day because we need to eat other healthy foods and do different activities, we also have a set time for playing on your device. This helps make sure you have time for all the other fun and important things, like playing outside, reading books, and spending time with family.

But guess what? If you're doing really well with your tasks, like finishing your homework or helping around the house, we can sometimes add a little extra 'treat time' on your device as a special reward. It's all about balancing fun time on your device with all the other fun and important things you do each day. Does that make sense?

For Pre-teens (Ages 9-13)

Hey! I understand that you want more free time to enjoy your favourite activities on your device. The reason we set a limit on free time in the Superr. is to help you balance your day. It's important to have a mix of activities like studying, playing, resting, and using your device. This way, you can learn new things, stay active, and also have fun!

But, good news! If you're managing your tasks well and using your device responsibly, we can definitely think about extending your free time. Remember, if you finish your studies or chores early, or if it's a special occasion, you can request extra free time through the app. I'll get a notification, and we can adjust the time for that day.

Also, on weekends or holidays, we can set a different free-time limit that's longer than on school days. This way, you can have more time for leisure activities when you're not busy with schoolwork. It's all about finding the right balance.

For teenagers (Ages 14-17)

Hey there, I understand that you might feel the need for more free time on your device, especially to connect with friends on social media and use apps that are important to you. It's great that you're engaging with the digital world, as it can be a valuable tool for learning, entertainment, and staying in touch.

Remember, the purpose of the free time limit in the Superr app isn't to restrict you, but to encourage you to use your time wisely. It's about finding the right balance between the digital world and the world around you. This is a crucial skill, especially as you grow older and have to manage more responsibilities.

That being said, I'm open to discussing a possible extension of your free time in a way that works for both of us. Maybe we can agree on certain conditions, like ensuring your schoolwork and other responsibilities are taken care of first. We can also consider special occasions or weekends for some extra time.It's all about making sure that we're using technology in a way that benefits you the most.
