Educational parental control for parents of children aged 6–12 and digital wellbeing | Nami Kids

Why Nami Parents

Modern parents are juggling countless responsibilities, making it hard to monitor every aspect of their child's digital activity.

Children today consume thousands of pieces of online content, making it hard for parents to choose what's constructive.

Today's fast-paced digital world makes it harder to motivate children toward meaningful learning.

Features of the educational parental control app for parents

Nami Parents is the educational parental control app that manages Nami Kids and helps you handle screen time for children aged 6–12

App management

Choose which apps to approve or remove from your child's device — all with a single tap from your phone.

Alerts on suspicious messages

If a notification with suspicious words reaches your child's phone, Nami Parents alerts you. That makes it less likely that a sign of cyberbullying or a strange contact slips past you.

Screen time control

Set the day's free time and after how many minutes of use the break arrives. For example, every half hour the game stops and a Nami story with a quiz starts, or a real-world task.

Track your child's progress: view quiz results and discover what they've learned each day.

Screen time management for children aged 6–12 and digital wellbeing

One of the most common concerns for parents is screen time: how much is too much? And how do you stop the smartphone from becoming a daily battleground? Nami Parents helps you set clear rules around schedules, duration and time of day, turning the screen into a tool that serves the family.

The focus isn't just "how long" but how the time is spent: thanks to educational features and guided breaks, the device becomes an ally for growth rather than an enemy to fight. This is the heart of digital wellbeing.

Cyberbullying, online safety for children and the whitelist approach

Nami Kids works with a whitelist: instead of only blocking apps known to be dangerous, it lets your child open only the apps the parent has approved. New apps stay locked until you give the OK from your phone. This reduces the risk of your child ending up on social networks, chats or games that aren't suitable for their age, where cyberbullying, hate speech and inappropriate content are easier to come across.

Parents decide which apps can be used. On top of that, Nami Parents alerts you when a notification with suspicious words reaches your child's phone, which reduces the risk of missing a sign of cyberbullying or distress. The goal isn't to spy — it's to notice in time and talk with your child when it matters.

In the frequently asked questions you'll find practical advice on discussing cyberbullying and online safety with your child.

Digital family agreement and non-invasive parental monitoring

Nami Parents is designed to support a digital family agreement between parents and children. Instead of monitoring in secret, you can agree on the rules together: when the phone is used, for how long, which apps can be installed, and what to do when something feels wrong online.

The app offers non-invasive monitoring tools: you see trends, activity summaries and key alerts, without reading every single message. This strengthens mutual trust and helps your child develop independence, knowing they can count on you.

Digital citizenship for primary school children (ages 6–12)

With Nami Kids and Nami Parents you support your child's development of digital citizenship: respect for online rules, privacy management, recognising reliable content and awareness of risks. These are skills aligned with school guidelines and European frameworks like DigComp, adapted to everyday family life.

The app's features help prepare your child for secondary school and a more independent use of social media, working today on small steps: asking permission before sharing, not responding to aggressive messages, and asking for help when something feels unsafe.

To get started you can take the digital test and compare the available plans, or read our in-depth articles on education and digital citizenship.

Digital citizenship and wellbeing: guiding without intruding

From control to digital wellbeing

Parents aren't looking for a tool that simply blocks or counts hours: they want a partner in their children's digital growth journey. Nami Kids fills this space: digital wellbeing and non-invasive guidance. The goal isn't surveillance for its own sake, but progressive trust and the child's independence, within clear rules set by the parent.

Discover how the app works on the For kids page and in the family guide.

Family agreements and quality screen time

How children use devices matters, not just how long. Nami Kids encourages a digital family agreement: clear rules, dialogue and quality content. Nami's pedagogical pauses and stories bring a moment of learning into screen time, not just passive watching. It's support for modern parenting: monitoring tools that respect the relationship and the child's growth.

To get started: take the digital test or check the plans and pricing.

Online safety and digital citizenship

Beyond rules on apps and time, Nami Kids aims at digital citizenship: helping children navigate online consciously and responsibly. On the online safety side, the parent approves new apps and gets alerts on notifications with suspicious words. On the educational side, stories and quizzes encourage critical thinking and a balance between the digital and real worlds. For parents this means knowing which apps their child uses, noticing earlier the signs that deserve a conversation, and giving screen time a constructive part too.
