Daniel walks in the studio.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, jeans, and a cream and burgundy TVO Kids hooded sweatshirt.

Daniel says WELCOME BACK!
IT IS TIME FOR OUR
TVOK NEWS
FEATURE.
AND, TODAY, WE LOOK TO
ALYSON SCHAFER FOR ADVICE
ON HOW TO MANAGE OUR SCREEN TIME
WITH ALL THE OTHER
ACTIVITIES IN OUR LIVES,
AS WELL AS OUR FAMILIES.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

A clip rolls on a screen behind him.

Alyson is in her forties, with chin length straight blond hair and wears a purple and black printed blouse and a black leather jacket.

She says HI, IT'S ALYSON SCHAFER.
LISTEN, KIDS, I WANNA HELP YOU
HAVE THE BEST TIME YOU CAN
WITH YOUR PHONE
AND YOUR PARENTS.
AND ONE OF THE WAYS
THAT YOU CAN SHOW THEM
THAT YOU ARE MANAGING TECHNOLOGY
IS TO LET THEM KNOW
THAT YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE FUN YOU HAVE ONLINE,
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
PUTTING DOWN THE PHONE,
AND FOCUSING ON
OTHER THINGS,
THE PEOPLE IN YOUR FAMILY,
YOUR HOMEWORK,
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
ONE GREAT WAY TO SHOW THEM IS TO
POINT OUT TO YOUR PARENTS,
"HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT,
AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY PHONE,
"THERE'S THINGS I LOVE
AROUND THIS HOUSE, TOO.
"SO I'M GONNA DOCK MY PHONE."
AND ENCOURAGE THEM
FOR A NO TECH TIME AS WELL.
SUGGEST NO PHONES
AT THE DINNER TABLE,
NO PHONES WHEN
WE'RE IN THE CAR.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET YOUR PARENTS
OFF THEIR DEVICES, TOO.
EVERYBODY'S CHALLENGED WITH OUR
DESIRE TO CHECK OUR EMAILS,
AND RESPOND TO THOSE
LITTLE PING NOTIFICATIONS.
CHALLENGE YOUR PARENTS,
SEE IF YOU CAN DO IT TOGETHER
AS A FAMILY CHORE.
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN MAKE
ONE HOUR TECH FREE TONIGHT
AND PLAY CARDS INSTEAD.
TAKE THAT IDEA FORWARD.

Daniel says I LOVE THAT.
"DOCK MY PHONE."
I'M GONNA USE THAT AND REALLY
SPEND THE QUALITY TIME
WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
UNTIL NEXT TIME,
I'M DANIEL,
AND THAT'S IT FOR
TVOK NEWS.
