My child figures out how to use new apps, devices or streaming platforms without being shown step-by-step.

My child prefers watching short-video content (e.g., YouTube clips, TikTok style) rather than longer-form videos or traditional TV.

My child switches between tasks (for example, chatting, gaming, watching) quickly and seems comfortable doing multiple things at once.

When asked to engage in an activity without screens (e.g., board game, outdoor play, craft), my child protests or drifts toward a digital device.

My child expresses clear preferences (e.g., “I like this channel/app”, “I don’t like that game”) and expects their preferences to be respected.

My child shows interest or concern for global/social issues (e.g., environment, equality) and sometimes talks about them.

My child asks questions about how things work (apps/devices/internet) and seems to analyse rather than simply accept them.

When interacting with peers, much of their play or interaction happens online/in games or via devices rather than face-to-face.

My child is comfortable learning via digital tools (apps, videos, games) and seems drawn to interactive/digital learning rather than traditional textbook/workbook style.

My child becomes distracted easily or switches tasks often when using screens or when watching something.

My child sometimes shows frustration or impatience when asked to stop device time or to engage in analogue activities (e.g., reading a physical book, doing non-screen homework).

My child demonstrates independent decision-making (for example choosing what game/app to use, what to wear, what to cook/play) rather than always waiting for parental direction.

My child has a more international or diverse mindset—accepts peers of different backgrounds, shows curiosity about other cultures, or naturally expects diversity.

My child shows signs of craving or expecting immediate feedback/rewards (for instance in gaming, apps, social media) rather than waiting patiently.
