Training “Raising awareness about screens: understanding, acting, supporting”: program, content, and who it is for
This page describes in detail the training on raising awareness about screens offered by DYNSEO, titled “ Raising awareness about screens : understanding, acting, supporting ”. You will find its actual content, module by module, the profile of the people for whom it is truly useful, the time it requires, what it costs, and — just as importantly — what it does not do. The idea is simple : to allow you to know, before registering, if it fits your situation as a parent or caregiver.
Screens are everywhere in the lives of children and teenagers: at home, at school, in their pockets. Most families are not looking to eliminate them, but to find a sustainable framework, without constant conflict or guilt. This online training has been designed exactly for that: to provide clear guidelines and concrete actions for people who are neither doctors nor specialized educators, and who simply want to support their child without making mistakes.
The essentials in 30 seconds
“Raising awareness about screens: understanding, acting, supporting” is an online training of 6 modules and 18 lessons, designed by DYNSEO for families and caregivers of children and teenagers. It costs 20 €, can be followed at your own pace, and ends with a final quiz.
- For whom — parents, grandparents, childminders, activity leaders, anyone who supports a child on a daily basis. No prerequisites.
- What you will learn — understand the effects of screens according to age, set a framework, manage conflicts and screen time, create a positive routine, monitor social media and content, balance digital and physical activity.

- Organization — DYNSEO, a training organization certified Qualiopi (N° 11757351875), certificate of completion issued.
Why take a training course on raising awareness about screens when you are a parent or caregiver?
The issue of screens comes up in almost every family, and it is exhausting. We oscillate between letting it be (“at least he is calm”) and prohibition (“no more tablet, that's it”), never quite sure if we are doing the right thing. It is not a matter of willpower: it is a lack of guidelines. No one learns, upon becoming a parent, how a child's attention develops, or why the end of a video game triggers such a reaction.
However, major public health authorities converge on a message. The World Health Organization, in its 2019 recommendations on physical activity and sedentary behavior in young children, advises: no screen time before 1 year, very limited use between 2 and 4 years, and more active play and interactions. In France, Public Health France and the High Council for Public Health reiterate the same logic: it is not just the duration that matters, but the context, content, time of day, and adult supervision. These guidelines exist; it is just a matter of knowing how to translate them into the daily life of a real family.
This training precisely fills that gap. It does not demonize screens and does not promise a miracle recipe. It gives you the common language to understand what is happening in your child's mind, and the concrete actions that no one has time to explain to you: how to announce the end of screen time without a crisis, how to establish a routine that holds, how to identify problematic usage. These are situations you are already experiencing, but often face without a manual.
A screen is not "good" or "bad" in itself. What matters is what the child is watching, with whom, at what time, and what this usage replaces. A cartoon shared and discussed with an adult has nothing to do with two hours of solitary videos before bed. All training starts from this nuance: moving away from "all or nothing" to enter into "how".
Who is this training for?
It is primarily aimed at families and caregivers: the vocabulary, examples, and situational contexts are designed for people who are not child professionals. No prerequisites, no technical knowledge. Several profiles find it particularly relevant.
The everyday parent
They manage tablet requests, evening negotiations, and homework. They want a clear framework that lasts over time, without turning every day into a tug-of-war.
The grandparent
They regularly look after the grandchildren and do not want to be "the one who lets everything happen". They seek simple guidelines that are consistent with those of the parents.
The caregiver and supervisor
Childminder, activity leader, educator, after-school professional: they support children who are already very exposed to screens and want concrete answers.
Made for you / not made for you
| Your situation | This training… |
|---|---|
| Screens have become a source of daily conflict at home | ✔ Perfectly suitable |
| You don't know what screen time is "normal" for the age | ✔ Suitable — the first modules establish these guidelines |
| Your child isolates or gets upset as soon as stopping is mentioned | ✔ Suitable — the "practical advice" module is dedicated to this |
| You supervise a group of children and are looking for common guidelines | ✔ Suitable |
| You are looking for a diagnosis regarding a possible addiction of your child | ✘ No — this falls under a doctor or psychologist |
| You want a recognized state diploma | ✘ No — this is a certificate of completion, not a diploma |
An important point: if you observe signs of distress in your child that worry you — marked withdrawal, persistent sleep disorders, sudden drop in academic performance, loss of interest in everything else — this training will help you better understand and communicate, but it does not replace professional advice. The right reflex is to talk to your general practitioner, the school doctor, or a psychologist.
The detailed program, module by module
The training consists of 6 modules and 18 video lessons, followed by a final quiz. Each lesson is short: we progress step by step, with time to assimilate and try one thing in between. Here is the actual content, as it is structured on the platform.
Introduction
- Screens in today's life — how digital technology has become part of family daily life, and why the question is no longer “ for or against ” but “ how to support ”.
- Recommended screen time — guidelines by age group, what the recommendations say, and how to adapt them to the reality of your family.
The effects of screens
- The screen use of today's children — a concrete overview of usage by age, starting from what really exists.
- The effects of screens — sleep, attention, language, physical activity : what exposure modifies, and under what conditions.
- Disorders associated with screens — the signals that should alert, without dramatizing, and the moment to turn to a health professional.
Existing solutions
- Parental control — what it allows, its limits, and why it never replaces dialogue.
- Regular breaks — how to pace screen time to protect sleep, eyes, and attention.
- The child as an active person — moving away from passive consumption : creating, playing, moving, and making the child an actor rather than a spectator.
Practical tips and strategies
- How to introduce technology to a child — set a framework from the start rather than catching up later.
- How to help the child accept the end of screen use — announce, warn, accompany the transition without a crisis.
- How to create a positive routine for screen use — establish predictable habits that reassure the child and lighten the parent's load.
- How to prevent a child from isolating behind screens — identify withdrawal and reopen doors to other activities.
- How to manage excitement related to video games — understand the energy rise and accompany it instead of enduring it.
- How to manage a conflict around screens — defuse, set manageable limits, and stay in the relationship.
- How to monitor social media — accompany entry into social networks without spying or turning a blind eye.
- How to balance physical and digital activities — bring movement and real play back into the day.
- How to manage the content watched by children — take an interest in what is seen, discuss it, and choose together.
Workshop to set up at home
- Workshop with COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES and CLINT, your brain coach — a concrete example of active and educational screen use, alternating cognitive games and physical challenges, easy to set up at home.
Final quiz
- Validation quiz — a few questions to verify that the essentials have been acquired before receiving your certificate of completion.
Don't look at everything at once. Follow one module per evening, and test one thing in between : warn ten minutes before the end of screen time, establish a fixed break, replace a passive video with a game where the child is active. It's repetition that changes daily life, not the amount of information consumed all at once.

The most important point for a family : access remains open. You can revisit the lesson dedicated to screen time on the day your child is going through a more challenging period, months after completing the course. It is often at that moment, when the situation becomes tougher, that content makes the most sense. Nothing requires you to remember everything the first time : the training remains a resource to draw from as you progress.
What you will be able to do by the end
Not just theoretical knowledge : actions applicable the very next day. Here’s what you should be able to do concretely once the course is completed.
Set a clear framework
Define time and content markers suitable for the age, and communicate them to the child in a way that he understands and accepts more easily.
Manage screen time ending
Anticipate the transition, warn before stopping, and guide the shift to another activity without it escalating into a crisis each time.
Establish a routine
Set up predictable habits around screens : when, how much, where, and what comes before and after.
Defuse conflicts
Recognize what triggers opposition, maintain the connection, and hold a boundary without entering into a power struggle.
Support online
Address social media and viewed content through dialogue, identify problematic usage, and know when to alert.
Rebalance the day
Reintroduce movement, real play, and shared times, and transform some passive screens into active and educational uses.
An example of a learned gesture: announcing the end of the screen
Rather than cutting off abruptly (“That's enough, turn it off!”), the training proposes a three-step transition. Ten minutes before: “In ten minutes, we turn it off; you finish your game or your episode.” Two minutes before: “Two more minutes, I'll come back to remind you.” At the moment of stopping: “It's time, we turn it off together, and then we set the table / we read a story.” The principle: warn, propose a concrete follow-up, and remain present for the transition.
❌ To avoid: tearing away the screen without warning, negotiating “five more minutes” repeatedly, or making the screen a reward or punishment. These reflexes increase the tension around the object instead of calming it.
Qualiopi and certificate: what it changes for you
DYNSEO is a Qualiopi certified training organization, registered under the activity declaration number 11757351875. This certification focuses on the quality of the training process: clarity of educational objectives, adaptation to the target audiences, qualification of the trainers, collection of feedback, and continuous improvement of the content.
Specifically, for a family: this means that the content is not improvised. The objectives are written before being filmed, the lessons are structured and revised. At the end of the course, after the quiz, you receive a certificate of completion in your name. It certifies your participation: it is neither a state diploma nor a regulated professional qualification, and it is honest to specify this clearly.
If you work in a nursery, after-school care, leisure center, or as a childminder, DYNSEO's Qualiopi certification allows an employer to consider coverage under the skills development plan. The conditions depend on your skills operator : to be verified on a case-by-case basis with your HR service before registration.
Pricing and registration
The training is offered at 20 €. It is a deliberately accessible price : the goal is for a parent or caregiver to be able to train without budgetary constraints, on a subject that concerns all families today. Access is immediate and unlimited over time.
- Open the training page and add it to your cart.
- Create your learner account (or log in if you already have one) and confirm the payment.
- You are registered : the training appears in your space and the first lesson starts immediately.
No entry date, no session to wait for. If you register on a Sunday evening because it's the only quiet time in your week, you start within the next minute. And you can pause and resume as many times as necessary : the training is waiting for you.
What this training is not
Let's be clear, this avoids misunderstandings.
- This is not a medical or psychological opinion. No lesson replaces a doctor, pediatrician, or psychologist. If you suspect real suffering in your child, they are the ones to turn to for a diagnosis.
- This is not a "detoxification" protocol. The training helps to set a framework and provide support, not to treat an established clinical situation.
- This is not individual support. There is no personalized follow-up included : it is a video course that you follow alone, at your own pace.
- This is not a diploma. The certificate attests to participation, not a professional qualification recognized by the State.
- This is not a list of applications to download. The goal is to make you autonomous in your decisions, not to sell you tools.
Free tools and the app that complements it
The training refers to several DYNSEO resources that can be used immediately. The following tools are free, printable, and downloadable from the tools catalog :
- Weekly homework planner — to schedule study times and leave a clear place for screens once the work is done.
- School gamification system — to reward efforts and off-screen activities in a fun way.
- Backpack checklist — to make the child an actor in their organization, a first step towards autonomy.
- Emotional regulation toolbox (teens) — to support tensions, including those arising around screens.
On the digital side, the "home workshop" module relies on COCO, DYNSEO's cognitive stimulation app for children aged 5 to 10, which alternates between thinking games (COCO THINKS) and physical challenges (COCO MOVES) : a concrete example of active screen time where the child moves and thinks instead of just consuming. For adults or teenagers, the app CLINT offers memory, attention, and logic games. You can also assess cognitive functions with the online cognitive tests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Combien de temps dure la formation sensibiliser aux écrans ?
Comptez environ 2 à 3 heures au total pour les 18 leçons et le quiz final. Les leçons étant courtes, la plupart des parents étalent le parcours sur une à deux semaines, à raison d'un module par soirée. Il n'y a aucune obligation de rythme : l'accès reste ouvert après la fin du parcours, et vous pouvez revenir sur n'importe quelle leçon quand une situation particulière se présente à la maison. La formation devient alors une ressource dans laquelle piocher au fil des étapes de la vie de votre enfant.
Faut-il des connaissances particulières pour la suivre ?
Non, aucune. La formation est classée « tous niveaux » et s'adresse explicitement aux familles et aux aidants. Le vocabulaire est simple, expliqué au fur et à mesure, et illustré par des situations concrètes du quotidien. Vous n'avez besoin d'aucune compétence technique ni d'aucune notion de psychologie pour commencer : c'est justement l'objectif des premiers modules que de vous donner les repères de base, avant de passer aux conseils pratiques et aux gestes à appliquer chez vous.
Recevrai-je une attestation à la fin ?
Oui. Après validation du quiz final, une attestation de fin de formation à votre nom est délivrée par DYNSEO, organisme de formation certifié Qualiopi (N° 11757351875). Cette attestation atteste de votre participation au parcours. Elle ne constitue ni un diplôme d'État, ni une qualification professionnelle réglementée. Pour un professionnel de l'enfance, elle peut néanmoins témoigner d'une démarche de montée en compétences sur un sujet devenu central dans l'accompagnement des enfants et des adolescents.
La formation peut-elle être prise en charge financièrement ?
Pour un particulier qui accompagne son enfant, la formation est achetée directement, à 20 €. Pour un professionnel, la certification Qualiopi de DYNSEO permet à un employeur d'envisager une prise en charge dans le cadre du plan de développement des compétences. Les conditions dépendent de l'opérateur de compétences et doivent être vérifiées auprès du service RH avant l'achat. Aucun montant d'aide ne peut être garanti à l'avance : renseignez-vous auprès de votre employeur ou de votre organisme de rattachement.
Existe-t-il un accompagnement ou un support pendant la formation ?
La formation est un parcours en autonomie que vous suivez à votre rythme, sans classe virtuelle ni suivi individuel. En cas de question sur l'accès à votre espace ou sur un aspect pratique, l'équipe DYNSEO peut être contactée. Pour tout ce qui touche à la santé ou au comportement de votre enfant — signes qui vous inquiètent, souffrance, usage qui semble échapper au cadre — la formation vous oriente vers les bons interlocuteurs : médecin traitant, médecin scolaire ou psychologue, seuls habilités à poser un diagnostic.
Cette formation est un outil d'accompagnement pour les familles et les aidants ; elle ne se substitue pas à un avis professionnel. Si vous observez chez un enfant des signes de souffrance — troubles du sommeil durables, repli, chute scolaire, perte d'intérêt pour tout le reste — parlez-en à un médecin ou à un psychologue. En cas de situation d'urgence, contactez les services d'urgence de votre pays.
