try this with your 3-8yr old and check if it keeps them engaged

I built an MVP that tries to get kids off the screen while they're using it

Parents of kids aged 3–8, I need some honest feedback on a small MVP I'm testing.

I'm exploring whether screen time can be made more meaningful by using a calm virtual companion that gets kids to **think, solve, listen, move and occasionally step away from the screen**, instead of just passively watching.

I built a very early prototype called **Milo**. No signup or payment. I'm just testing whether kids actually enjoy and understand the experience.

Try it here:

If your child tries it for 10–15 minutes, I'd really appreciate answers to these:

  1. How old is your child?

  2. Which activity did they enjoy most?

  3. Where did they get confused or need your help?

  4. Did they willingly do the movement/off-screen activities?

  5. Did they lose interest anywhere? Where?

  6. Did they want to continue playing?

  7. As a parent, how do you feel about this compared with their usual screen time?

  8. What would make you let your child use this again?

Please be critical. I'm trying to figure out what works before building more.
