A five-minute family learning routine
Look: Choose a Little Mike story or activity together. Ask the child what they notice in the pictures and what they think may happen next.
Talk: Ask one open question: What surprised you? What would you do if you were Little Mike? Which character made a good choice?
Create: Put the screen down and draw a scene, invent a character or act out a story. The goal is exploration, not a perfect answer.
Stay safe on the web
Children should never share their real name, home address, school, passwords, phone number, precise location or other private details in any online message or form.
Tell a trusted adult immediately if a website asks for secrets, money, private photos or information that feels uncomfortable. Parents should preview outside websites and download links first.
What adults should check
Check the destination before opening a linked game, movie or shop. External services can have their own privacy, tracking, account and payment practices.
Read the site's privacy page and COPPA information; no webpage alone proves that an entire ecosystem complies with applicable child-privacy law.
Comfortable, balanced play
Sound and motion can be fun, but every child has different preferences. Use mute and animation-pause features where provided, and take breaks from screens and rapid movement.
Try turning a digital activity into an offline one: count objects on a walk, read a library book, draw Little Mike's next destination, or make up a short story together.
For teachers and family organizations
Use short sessions, encourage participation instead of passive viewing, and obtain required guardian permissions for any classroom or community program.
Avoid publishing children's identifiable work, names or photos online without appropriate consent and safeguards. Learn more in the Little Mike media-information page.
