About the AntiScreen Movement

Why This Guide Exists

The AntiScreen Movement was created because the evidence on real play and screen time in early childhood is clear, and largely unknown. Neuroscientists, paediatricians, psychologists and educators have been producing consistent, compelling research for decades. The message has not reached the parents who need it.

This guide brings together 100 expert voices, 100+ Q&As, and 100+ free resources in one place, presented without paywall or registration. Everything cited. Everything honest. Nothing sold except the toys that the research genuinely supports.

Our Principles

• Evidence-first. Every claim is cited. Every expert is real. If the research is mixed, we say so.
• Guilt-free. We are not here to shame parents. We are here to share what the evidence says and help families act on it.
• Free, always. Every resource on this site is free. No email capture. No subscription. No paywall.
• In partnership with Jaques London. We are honest about this relationship. Jaques London makes some of the best open-ended wooden toys in the world. The TIMPANI research independently validates the kind of toys they make. We recommend their products because the evidence supports them, not despite that relationship, but consistent with it.

Jaques London · Est. 1795

Jaques London is the world's oldest games and toy company, established in 1795. They invented croquet, table tennis and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years they have believed, before the neuroscience existed to prove it, that physical, real, hands-on play is the foundation of a good childhood. The AntiScreen Movement is the evidence-based expression of that belief.
