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:
-
How old is your child?
-
Which activity did they enjoy most?
-
Where did they get confused or need your help?
-
Did they willingly do the movement/off-screen activities?
-
Did they lose interest anywhere? Where?
-
Did they want to continue playing?
-
As a parent, how do you feel about this compared with their usual screen time?
-
What would make you let your child use this again?
Please be critical. I'm trying to figure out what works before building more.
