Devices with a Grown-Up

Children find out what a device with a screen is, learn gentle and safe ways to use one (dry hands, sitting down, drinks kept away, soft taps), and practise using a device together with a grown-up while taking turns. Each lesson is a few minutes long and ends with something to do or talk about away from the screen.
