For more information and some easy to follow tips on screen time for both parents & children please refer to - https://www.vtech.co.uk/screentime Whether we like it or not, kids love technology, and whatever you think about phones and tablets, there are plenty of educational benefits to them. The boys often watch YouTube videos that support their learning or play games. Possibly less educationally, they like to take selfie after selfie using the Snapchat filters on my phone, and I can’t count how many blurred photos I find on the iPad of feet and close-ups of eyeballs and nostrils. While tablets are great, sometimes, they want a phone just like mummy and daddy – and that’s where the VTech KidiCom Advance comes in. What are the features of the VTech KidiCom Advance?

Now, while the device looks like a smartphone, you can’t actually make or receive any calls on it. However, it does give your child the opportunity to send messages over Wi-Fi. They obviously can’t send them to just anyone (or vice versa) – the person they want to message has to register first and be approved by you, so it is all very safe and secure. I really like how much control I can have over the ‘phone’.
