Technology Helps Our Kids Learn

Nowadays, kids do a lot of research and revision online, which means more time on screens. This can be distracting and affect their sleep.
Parents and kids need to find a balance that doesn't add to their stress.
We're running a campaign called The Family Chat with Tesco Mobile to help families talk about online safety.
Giovanna Fletcher, a mom of three, is talking to parents and kids about the issues they face and how Tesco Mobile can help.
Our latest Family Chat is about exam season and managing screen time and stress.
Giovanna thinks parents should realize that screen time is not all bad, and it gives kids many things we didn't have.
Her youngest child does homework on a device, so it becomes natural for them to use technology.
When revision starts, kids need to juggle their time online, and it's helpful to have support.
The Jackson family uses smartphones every day, and they're learning to manage their screen time.
Evie used to worry about answering messages right away, but Lilia has learned to limit her screen time.
Lilia is strict with herself and only messages friends after school if it's important.
She puts her group chats on silent when doing revision to avoid distractions.
Lilia likes to use online quizzes and turn them into flashcards for revision.
Ellie, the mom, is concerned about screen time affecting sleep, but she's also seen the benefits of online revision.
They use AI to help with maths questions and to check Lilia's past papers.
The family plans to use Tesco Mobile's tips for supporting kids during exam season.
Ellie thinks having resources to start conversations is really helpful.
