PROBLEM & CONCERN

The Screen-Mealtime Trap

🎯It starts innocently enough: perhaps you hand your child a screen to get them to sit still during meals. 📱 🍲 It works like magic—for a while. But soon, it becomes the only way they'll eat.

Here's What Happens Next:

📱They stop paying attention to the food. Instead of learning to chew and self-feed, they zone out. 🥄 You end up as the feeding assistant. Mealtime involves you spoon-feeding a distracted child. They meltdowns when the screen disappears.😢

⚕️👩‍⚕️ According to pediatricians, when children watch videos while eating, they lose touch with their natural hunger cues. ⏰ Over time, they rely on screen stimulation to get through meals instead of learning to eat independently.

The longer this habit continues, the harder it is to break. But what if you could break it gently—without tears and tantrums? 🌈

💡 THE SOLUTION: How SwitchTube Can Help

Here’s how it works:

🔒Toddler-Proof Locks 🧩

Kids are smart. That’s why we offer multiple lock modes to keep them focused on educational videos.

Auto-Switching Videos 🎬

We automatically alternate between your child’s favorite videos and educational content. When the educational video appears, it becomes their "cue" to take a bite. They quickly learn that "when the fun video ends, it's time to eat". Over time, they adapt to this new rhythm—without resistance.

🧠Seamless Learning 📚

By blending fun videos with learning time, kids naturally adjust to a more balanced, screen-time routine.

🙌Easy for Parents  

Just choose the videos, set the switch intervals, and let the app handle the rest.

REAL-LIFE USE CASE 👩‍👧

"Before SwitchTube, mealtime was a nightmare. My 2-year-old daughter would only eat if Peppa Pig was playing. 🐷🎥 If I tried to pause the video, she'd scream, throw her spoon 🥄, and refuse to eat. I was constantly spoon-feeding her while she stared at the screen, often zoning out and not chewing her food.

I was worried she'd never learn to eat on her own.

Then I tried SwitchTube to switch to videos showing other toddlers eating by themselves every few minutes. The first time, she was surprised. By the third time, she knew the pattern. Now, when the learning video comes on, she takes a few bites on her own. 🍎🍴 I finally get to drink my coffee in peace, and she's learning to eat like a big girl."
