AppleSlice EdgeTM – 21 Day Program Outline
The 21-Day program for all family member is made up of the following components:
1. Parent workbook/journal for each parent (7-day orientation and 21-day program)
2. Child workbook/journal for each child (21-days)
3. An in-home “router” device to manage, monitor and limit online activity
4. A separate app to monitor and limit cellular activity when not connected to a home Wi-Fi
5. A parental control app to manage family usage and set limits
6. A dashboard app for children to allow them to monitor their own usage and to make decisions on how best to spend their screen time.
