TVI Kids Tonight

What would help your family tonight?

One developmentally informed pick. Why it fits this evening. One thing to carry beyond the screen.

Find tonight's fit
One clear choiceAttention profileA useful next question

Step 1 of 4 · Age range

How old are the children watching?

Choose an age range, not the number of children. If more than one age needs to enjoy it, choose Mix.

Step 2 of 4 · Family need

What would help tonight?

Choose the job the screen should do, if it is going to be on at all.

Step 3 of 4 · Evening shape

What does tonight look like?

A thoughtful pick should fit the clock, the room, and how much of you is available.

01 How long should it last?
02 What energy belongs in the room?
03 How much can the grown-up join?

What the broader evidence supports

Content can model language, strategies, and patterns. A family's use of them depends on context and conversation.

That counts

Tonight needed less input.

A useful recommendation system should be able to recommend nothing. The family did not fail the tool. The tool listened.

A different kind of recommendation

Better screen time starts with the evening you actually have.

01

Start with the family

Age, energy, time, and the grown-up's availability shape the fit before popularity does.

02

Keep the scores honest

The TVI Score describes the work. The SEL Score describes what the work models. Neither is a score of your child.

03

Name what we know

We recommend an exact episode only when we have verified it. Otherwise, we say the guidance is for the show as a whole.

04

Carry one thing forward

Every pick includes one question, action, or idea worth bringing into the rest of family life.
