Get your kids a free Library Card.. and keep them of devices and away from screens, allow them to grow up with intelligent self learning enquiring minds, not zombie brains from sitting mindlessly in front of a device staring at a screen that rots their brains..

This comment is overly-dramatized, but has a point which is perhaps more subtle. There is a difference between training their attention mechanisms and exploiting their attention mechanisms. The vast majority of this ‘educational content’ is on the exploitation side.

Im not sure if you have checked the links shared by others but you could hardly class free educational videos as "exploitative".

Apologies for being unclear about this. I’m not suggesting exploitation like extracting value. I’m saying that they make their videos primarily interesting to children’s existing attention span, whereas book time may teach children to increase their attention span and become interested in something, like printed letters on a page, that otherwise appears quite boring.

Ah i get it - yes thats true indeed. They do a lot of reading, but sometimes its hard to find a book that suits the age range, subject and isnt too "textbook" like but still covers the main points on the curriculum.

But your right and in fact found a great one for science for my son just now!
