For children who find stopping screen time hard
Less shouting. Fewer battles. A calmer way to end tablet time.
Tablet time can end in tears, arguments or a full-body “no”. Children are focused, comfortable and deep inside their little world - then suddenly it is time to stop.
Join Benny Beaver and Daddy Beaver as they discover how a visual timer, a first-then routine and calm words can make stopping screen time feel safer and clearer.

Does this feel familiar?

- Your child is calm one moment and completely overwhelmed the next when the screen goes off.
- You want a kinder, more predictable way to move from screens to real life.
A gentler way to end screen time
Benny Beaver loves his tablet. He loves building worlds, solving puzzles and discovering exciting adventures. But when it is time to stop, a big feeling shows up.
With Daddy Beaver's help, Benny learns to name what he feels, watch a visual timer count down and follow a simple first-then plan - so stopping feels less sudden and more like part of the day.
The story gives children a comforting character they can relate to, and gives grown-ups simple, repeatable tools to try when the screen has to go off.
