Guides for parents

Calm, practical answers to the real questions about kids’ screen time and movement — no bans, no nagging, just balance. Powered by the same idea behind Ploj: movement in, balance out.

Screen time

How do I reduce my kid's screen time without a daily fight?
A calm, practical way to cut screen time: replace policing with structure, tie screens to movement, and let balance happen on its own. No bans, no nagging.
How much screen time is healthy for kids?
There's no single magic number. What matters is balance — that screens don't crowd out sleep, movement and real-world play. Here's how to think about it.

Activity & movement

How do I get my kids to be more active?
Kids move more when movement is the thing that unlocks the rest of their day. Make activity the natural first step and watch the fight for movement disappear.

What's a better alternative to a parental control app?
Parental control apps focus on blocking and surveillance. Ploj focuses on motivation — kids get active because activity balances their screen time. Structure, not control.

Parenting

How do I stop the daily screen-time battles?
The fights end when you stop being the timer. Put a simple structure in place — movement in, balance out — so screens stop being the thing you have to win every night.

Using Ploj

How does Ploj work?
Ploj ties physical activity to a screen-time timer. Movement grows it, chosen apps count it down, and at zero, entertainment apps pause until there's more movement.
