The methodology-based read on
what's worth their
screen time.
Methodology-based editorial resources for understanding what children's content depicts and models, not just what holds attention. Founding Parents get the quarterly SEL digest, the co-viewing guides, a private community, and a permanent spot on the founders wall. One payment, lifetime access. The $99 Founding Circle also includes the Kids digest, guide library, and first access to new Kids tools. The community, annual free-guide code, and Kids founders wall are exclusive to this $49 membership.

Meet the person behind the frameworks.
Cordelia Witty, EdS., NCSP
Cordelia Witty, EdS., NCSP, shapes and reviews the TVI Kids methodology, including its CASEL-aligned SEL framework. She personally reviews and signs only the editorials, briefs, guides, and designations attributed to her. Founding Parents receive her quarterly SEL digest and co-viewing guides as asynchronous written resources. Jordan Robinson, MD, MPH remains the accountable editor for catalog pages and system outputs. Nothing in the membership is an individualized assessment, recommendation, or therapeutic service.
Who this is for.
You're the parent who reads the screen-time research and doesn't know what to do with it. You've said "five more minutes" eight times and you still feel guilty. You've watched your kid zombie out on autoplay and you've watched them light up at the right show. You want the difference, in words, from someone who knows.
You've been following TVI Kids on Instagram. You trust the read it gives you. You'd like more of that clarity, and you'd like to lock in founder pricing before the door closes.
$49 once. Founding Parents and Founding Circle share 50 memberships in total. Both Founding offers close when that shared cohort is full.
Everything included. Forever.
Cordelia's Quarterly SEL Digest
Her written review of selected new titles scored into the Kids vertical that quarter, using the CASEL framework, with each title's SEL Score and commentary on observable content patterns. Founding Parents can submit general questions, and the ones she selects are answered inside the asynchronous digest. It is content review, not individualized assessment or clinical service.
Co-viewing discussion guides
Print-ready PDFs for top-scoring kids shows, built to structure family conversations around the language, feelings, and choices depicted in each work. You get the existing library, first access to new guides as they're published, and one guide of your choice free each year.
A private founding-parents community
A dedicated space for the founding parents, somewhere to compare notes with other parents taking this seriously and to send the questions that shape the next SEL digest.
Your name on the Founding Parents Wall
After you join, we'll ask whether you'd like your name listed on the public founding parents wall or kept anonymous, your call. Listed for the life of the site, numbered in the order you joined. See the wall →
First access on the kids side
New tools, printables, and anything else that ships under the Kids label, founding parents see it first, at an exclusive founder rate. First access and a better price, not everything for free.
What it actually looks like
No mystery box. Here is what lands in a Founding Parent's hands, before you spend a dollar.
General questions from the community, never an individual child.
Why we're doing this.
TVI Kids is the vertical people found first. Cordelia has been carrying the torch on Instagram and in the TVI Kids methodology every rating is scored against. We want to build more for her readers, more guides, more in-depth reviews, and the only way to fund that work without ads or sponsor deals is for the people who already use TVI Kids to pay for it directly.
Founding Parents underwrite the next year of development. In exchange, you never pay again. Simple.
Why 50 total. Why once.
Founding Circle and Founding Parents share one cohort of 50 memberships. Either option uses one place. When the combined cohort reaches 50, both Founding offers close to new members. Existing members keep the benefits of the option they purchased.
The shared limit keeps the founding group small enough for us to serve directly. The two membership options have different benefits, but they draw from the same 50 places.
If TVI Kids doesn't earn its keep in 6 months, we refund every dollar.
Read one SEL digest, try one discussion guide. If you don't feel like you're parenting with more signal and less guilt, email us inside 6 months and we return your $49 in full. You keep the guides you've downloaded. No questions.
Claim your spot.
One payment. Lifetime access. 6-month guarantee. Cordelia's quarterly SEL digest and co-viewing guides, written and async. The 50-member limit is shared with Founding Circle.
Questions.
I already follow TVI Kids on Instagram, what does this add?
Instagram stays free and public. Founding Parents is a separate tier that unlocks Cordelia's quarterly SEL digest, with the questions parents submit answered inside it, the co-viewing guides, a private community, and your name on the founders wall.
Is this really lifetime?
Yes. One payment of $49 buys lifetime access to everything listed above for as long as TVI Kids exists. If the price goes up for new members (it will, future membership pricing may differ after the shared Founding cohort closes), you still pay zero.
My kid is 2. My kid is 8. Which one is this for?
Both. The material covers ages 2 through preteen, and the SEL framework adapts across age bands. The discussion guides are tagged by age range, and the community includes parents of toddlers and tweens.
Is Cordelia actually qualified to do this?
Yes. She's a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) with an Education Specialist degree (EdS), the national certification in school psychology. She's a certified specialist, not a parenting influencer. One important distinction: she reviews and comments on the shows and the methodology, not on your individual child, and she provides no therapeutic or clinical services to founding parents. This is content review, not treatment.
What if I hate it?
Email us within 6 months and we refund $49 in full. You keep any guides you've downloaded. No claw-back. No guilt trip.
Can I gift it?
Yes. Buy the spot, then reply to your welcome email (or write hello@tvintelligentsia.com) with the recipient's name and email, and we move the membership to them and send their welcome with their founding parent number. Great for a new-parent friend who's drowning in screen-time guilt.
Tax receipt?
Stripe issues one automatically. Anything else, email us.
The offer is simple.
$49 once. Lifetime Kids Premium. 50 memberships shared across Founding Circle and Founding Parents. 6-month full-refund guarantee so the downside is zero.
