The evidence
We try to be honest about what the research does and does not say. The headlines are often louder than the science. Here is the stance the whole product rests on, calm, balanced, and open to being updated as the evidence moves.
The strongest, most agreed finding is that the harm from screens is mostly about what they crowd out: sleep, movement, real play, and unstructured time. Guided Childhood is built to protect those, not to demonise devices.
Outright bans tend to push behaviour underground and teach nothing for the years when a parent is not in the room. A calm, agreed structure that grows with the child is what the developmental research supports.
Warm relationships are out of step much of the time. What builds a child security is coming back together after a rough patch, not never slipping. Our tone with parents follows that.
Empty time is where children learn to generate their own ideas. We treat I am bored as a doorway, not a problem to fix with a screen.
Inside the app, DiGi draws on a growing library of expert positions and real research, grounded to named sources rather than invented, and it is honest when something is unsettled. The full cited briefings sit behind the product and are refreshed as new work lands.
