The tempting prize

Leo won his dinosaur race and a shiny treasure chest burst onto the screen. Inside were rainbow gems and a flying dinosaur. One bright button promised that they could be his right now.

One tap feels easy

Leo's finger floated towards the button. JB gently placed one foot beside his hand. Shiny buttons are designed to feel quick, he said. Our Bright Button gives us time to ask. Leo put both hands in his lap.

Find the real cost

Leo called Dad. Together they discovered that the chest cost real money and would renew every month. Dad switched on purchase approval. Leo added the flying dinosaur to a wish list instead.

The Golden Pause

The next treasure chest flashed even brighter. Leo sat on his hands, called Dad and waited. JB presented him with the Golden Pause trophy. The ordinary green dinosaur still won the race, which felt better than any mystery chest.

YOUR BRIGHT BUTTON

ASK BEFORE YOU TAP.

Remember

Before buying, downloading or subscribing, take your hands off the screen and ask a trusted grown-up.

Talk about it

  • Why did the shiny button make Leo want to tap quickly?
  • What can you do while you wait for a grown-up?

Try it together

Look at one pretend purchase screen and practise finding the price, renewal words and ask button.

PARENT SETUP
  1. Turn on purchase approval and authentication for the child's account.
  2. Remove stored payment methods where approval cannot be enforced.
  3. Explain the family rule for free downloads, purchases and subscriptions.
