The 3-6-9-12 method: a practical guide for managing screens

To frame the use of screens, Super Nanny recommends method 3-6-9-12, which sets clear benchmarks:

Before 3 years: No screen at all.
From 3 to 6 years: Limit to adapted programmes, in the presence of an adult.
From 6 to 9 years: Introduce educational video games, always under surveillance.
From 9 to 12 years: Access to controlled and limited Internet, ensuring that the child is protected from inappropriate content.

This framework makes it possible to gradually structure the use of screens, while respecting the child’s development.

Beyond screen management, Super Nanny emphasizes the importance of shared family moments. According to her, screens undermine social interactions and weaken the emotional bond between parents and children. To avoid this, it encourages:

Focus on family-friendly board games: to learn to share and collaborate.
Organize family outings: walks, picnics, sports activities to strengthen ties.
Create screenless rituals: family meals without digital distraction to facilitate exchanges.

These special moments allow children to feel listened to and supported, while developing their sociability and empathy
