A digital parenting membership built on the research. A pathway from age 4 to 16, daily moments with the exact words for the friction points of the day, 160 scripts for the hard conversations, and DiGi available at 11pm when you need it.
Four questions. No account needed. Your pathway is waiting.
Five stages
Every stage has different risks, different conversations, and a different device recommendation. Find yours and start there.
"I did not realise how much the routine would help. The timer changed everything for us."
Start here →"I thought the bedroom rule would cause a fight. They actually seemed relieved someone had decided."
Start here →"Her mood was dropping every Sunday evening. It took me a month to connect it to Instagram."
Start here →"He finally told me what had happened because I had said that line. Months earlier. I did not even remember saying it."
Start here →"I stopped trying to limit it and started asking different questions. That is when everything shifted."
Start here →The method
Research-backed. Tested with parents. TRUST runs through every action, script, and lesson from age 4 to 16.
Right conversation, right moment. Not too early, not too late.
Connection before compliance. The relationship is the protection.
Environment before rules. Platform mechanics matter more than willpower.
Bedroom rule. The single highest-impact change in the system.
Openness over secrecy. Co-navigation over monitoring.
Why I built this
"I watched my daughter scroll for three hours and realised the conversation I was missing."
Every parent I spoke to was worried. Not because they were doing something wrong. Because the guidance they were given was either too alarmist to be useful, or too vague to act on.
Guided Childhood is the platform I wanted to hand them. Staged by age. Specific to the challenge. A DiGi advisor that speaks plainly and ends every response with a concrete next step.
Start your child's pathway →The research bench
DiGi is trained on the same evidence base as the UK Surgeon General Advisory and Ofcom's media literacy framework. No opinions. Just the science.
Effects depend on vulnerability and environment, not hours of use.
The 11 to 13 developmental window. Peak sensitivity for girls.
The Goldilocks effect. Moderate, structured use is not the problem.
Children need skills and agency, not just restrictions.
What is inside
Jobs, chores and time outside earn stars, and stars become screen minutes at the rate you set. Screen time stops being the argument and becomes the thing they earn. The one piece no other app has.
Stars become screen timeA link, no login, no account. They tick off jobs, watch their stars become minutes, pitch their own quests and fill in the passport. Works on paper too, with the printable star chart, so the youngest need no screen at all.
No login neededDigital literacy from age 4 to 16, built for the moment social media arrives at 16. Each stage has different risks, different conversations, and a different device recommendation. No cliff edge.
Ages 4 to 16The friction points of the day: the morning routine, homework, the gaming handover, bedtime. The exact words for each one, and what your child is learning from the moment.
Five minutes a daySay this, not this, and why it works, grounded in the research, not guesswork. From the first tablet to the TikTok request at 13. Every hard conversation covered.
For every hard momentTrained on the research. Tell DiGi what happened today and get the exact words and the structural fix. Available at 11pm when the guilt spiral hits. Always a calibrated next step.
Available 24/7Per device, per age checklists, iPhone first. What to set tonight, before the device reaches your child. Ten minutes of setup saves months of arguments.
What to set tonightA weekly check in that takes two minutes. Over the weeks, patterns emerge. DiGi responds to what you find. You spot things before they become problems.
Patterns not panicA document your whole family creates together, prints, and signs. Agreed, not imposed. Reviewed each term. Changes the dynamic from rules to relationship.
Agreed not imposed100 lessons for digital home schooling, written to be taught at the kitchen table. Algorithms, group chats, gaming, AI and wellbeing, each at the right age.
100 lessonsPhotograph tonight’s sheet and get what it is really asking, how to help, and a lesson matched to what their class is covering this term. The curriculum for their school year, decoded.
Snap the sheetA passport to sixteen filled in together, a stamp each stage, and printable star charts, planners and craft sheets made for your child by name. The record of the whole journey, on paper.
Made with their nameOne genuinely useful email a week, written like a parent, not a robot. What to try, what to say, and what is coming at the next stage.
Every weekHow this shows up in your home
The bedroom rule is in place. Devices sleep in the kitchen. Everyone sleeps better. The conversation took four minutes and the script meant you did not flinch.
You have had the algorithm conversation. They come to you when something weird shows up. The door is open. That is the whole thing.
The ban comes into force. Your child reaches 16 ready. They know how algorithms work, what their digital footprint says about them, and how to get help when something goes wrong online. The switch flips. They are not starting from zero.
What parents say
"The bedroom rule conversation took three minutes. I had been putting it off for months. The script made it feel possible."
"Her mood was dropping every Sunday. DiGi was the first thing that helped me understand why and what to actually do about it."
"I was ready to just ban TikTok. The algorithm conversation changed everything. He actually thanks me for it now."
"Five minutes a week on the tracker. Sounds small. Has changed how I see what is happening with my daughter completely."
The phone is already there. The accounts already exist. The ban is coming. You are not starting from zero. You are starting from now. Every stage has a next step.
