Today, it's difficult to escape screens. Phones, tablets, computers, televisions… our children are growing up in a hyper-connected environment. Faced with this reality, how can we set boundaries, protect their development, and maintain open communication?
To address these challenges, the French government has launched a dedicated website: jeprotegemonenfant.gouv.fr . We at disconnecto applaud this initiative, as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to combating digital addiction and supporting families in better managing screen time.
A clear, accessible and reassuring website
The portal was designed to inform, guide, and equip parents , without making them feel guilty. It offers:
-
Practical advice for each age group (0–3 years, 3–6 years, 6–10 years, etc.)
-
Simple guidelines for establishing rules at home
-
Educational videos and testimonials from professionals
-
A FAQ on the most common questions
-
Downloadable fact sheets
Everything is presented in clear language, with intuitive navigation. It's a real support system for parents who often feel helpless when faced with conflicts or their child's digital isolation.
A collective awakening
The very existence of this site shows that the issue of hyperconnectivity among young people is no longer marginal . It is becoming a public health concern .
At Disconnecto, we're seeing this same growing awareness in the schools, communities, and businesses we work with. Requests for practical tools, like our phone storage bag, are increasing. Educational professionals, as well as families, are looking for practical solutions to restore connection and focus to daily life.
Our role, alongside the parents
We know that banning screens isn't enough. What's needed are spaces for dialogue , healthy routines , and sometimes concrete tools to establish new habits. Disconnecto is part of this approach: facilitating action, without judgment.
The website jeprotegemonenfant.gouv.fr is a fantastic awareness-raising tool , complementing our mission. We encourage all parents, teachers, and education professionals to consult it, share it, and draw inspiration from it to take action every day.
