Frequently asked questions
What is a screen addiction calculator for kids?
A screen addiction calculator is a screening tool that helps parents look at a child's screen habits and identify patterns that may be worth paying attention to.
Instead of looking only at the number of hours a child spends on a device, this calculator asks about stopping, increasing use, sleep, mood, schoolwork, other activities and hidden screen use.
Is this a screen addiction test or a medical diagnosis?
This is an educational screening tool, not a medical diagnosis.
It is designed to help parents understand whether they should be concerned about their child's device use and to highlight patterns that may need attention. Based on your answers, we will also suggest simple, practical tips you can try at home.
However, if your result shows stronger signs of concern or things seem to be getting worse over time, it is always better to consult a qualified healthcare professional. In some cases, excessive or uncontrolled screen use can affect a child's mental well-being, development, and future life outcomes.
How long does the screen addiction test take?
It takes about two minutes to answer the 8 questions.
You don't need to create an account to start the assessment.
Is the screen addiction calculator free?
Yes. The calculator is free to use.
What information do you collect about my child?
Your first name, your email, and your child's age band — nothing more. We never ask for your child's name, date of birth or any identifying detail, and your answers are only used to produce your result.
Wondering whether your child's screen habits are becoming a problem?
Answer 8 quick questions and see what the pattern looks like.
This is an educational screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. This isn't a quiz that tells every parent their child is addicted. It checks four specific markers from the WHO's ICD-11 definition — and it's calibrated so a normal kid reads as a normal kid.
