We also recognize that the quality of kids’ interaction with tech is as important as quantity. We’re adding a new card in the Family Link app that shows parents what we're calling “nutritious” apps—these are apps recommended by teachers to help parents discover and determine if content is appropriate for their kids. Parents can learn more about a recommended app on their device, and tap to download it directly onto their child’s device. This card is now available for Family Link users in the U.S. with children ages six through nine, and we’ll be rolling out to more countries over time.

We’re committed to bringing more resources to Family Link to help parents figure out what’s best for their family when it comes to technology—focusing not only on the time spent on devices, but making sure that time is spent well. This week we’re visiting the OKA+ teacher’s conference in Oklahoma to share ideas with teachers about what makes a nutritious app, and how to identify it. We’d love to hear from you as well. If you have any feedback you’d like to share with us, just open up the menu in Family Link and tap Help and Feedback.
