Co-founder of the #1 Parental Control Learning App Carrots&Cake helps kids build healthy screen time habits and parents say goodbye to screen time tantrums. Mother of two little girls
A TV journalist, Yale grad, and mother of two little girls. I felt like I was losing my mind during the lockdown and distance learning over my kids' screen time habits.
My husband and I set screen time limits, but our kids threw tantrums and rebelled when their time was up. Life turned into a negotiation. As parents, we found that fighting against Roblox, YouTube, Minecraft, and TikTok was a battle we could not win.
We tried parental control apps, but the existing technology didn't work. They were hard to set up, our kids broke out, and we got bombarded with notification requests for extra screen time. Fundamentally, we found the approach of simply limiting screen time flawed.
Families deserved something better.
So we teamed up with teachers, scientists, and child psychologists to create Carrots&Cake, an app focused on improving the quality of kids’ screen time. Now our kids have balance, we are happier, and our family has more time to connect.
Carrots&Cake prioritizes educational apps and gets kids to Learn First and Play Later. It puts parents in charge of technology while still giving kids agency. Our balanced limits help combat some of the biggest negative side effects associated with screen time: tantrums, anxiety, depression, obesity, sleeplessness, and lowered self-confidence. Tech companies and app developers understand a child’s dopamine reward pathway and leverage it to make it impossible for kids to put down their screens. Parents need to understand they aren’t fighting their kids over screen time, they’re battling Silicon Valley.
Since launching Carrots&Cake, parents report their kids’ daily screen time use is cut in half while time spent on educational apps has tripled.
Carrots&Cake has won The Mom’s Choice Award, Best New Mobile App Award 2022, and the Family Choice Award 2023
