KidibookMalo & Lila, stronger than screens
“Just five more minutes!” What if your child learned to turn off by themselves?
👇 Why “just five more minutes” never ends
Kidibook“Just five more minutes!” What if your child learned to turn off by themselves?
You grant the five minutes. Ten minutes later, you raise your voice. He yells, you turn off the tablet, he slams the door.
You won. Except tomorrow evening, it will start all over again — and you already know it as you go upstairs.
What tires you the most is not the screen. It’s having to be the one who turns it off, every night.
A child who has the screen taken away learns only one thing: to negotiate, then to resist. Not to stop.
And it’s not a tantrum: games and videos are designed so that you never want to stop. An adult struggles — an 8-year-old child has no chance without a method.
The goal is not for him to obey faster. It’s for him to understand what the screen tries to make him do, and to become able to decide for himself.
Effective, and to keep. But it’s still you who decides: the day he is elsewhere, the limit doesn’t follow him.
This turns every evening into a business discussion. And it’s you who makes the decision, every time.
It works for a while, and makes the screen even more desirable. He will end up accessing it: better that he knows how to use it.
This book does not replace your rules. It adds the only thing none of them give: the ability to stop by himself, because he has understood why it is difficult.
10 illustrated chapters, based on the 3-6-9-12 framework, the CNIL and e-Enfance (3018), each with a “your turn to play” challenge… screen-free:
He plays. The game ends. Usually, that’s when another one starts by itself and you hear “just five more minutes.”
This time, he puts down the tablet. He even explains to you, a little proud, that the game “was trying to make him stay.”
That’s exactly the goal: not a child who obeys, a child who decides.
A real book to read together at night — and to reread alone when he needs it.
And an evening that no longer ends with a door slamming.
