NHK KIDS 1.3.1

NHK Kids is an application tailored for children aged 3 to 7, offering a collection of diverse children's programs produced by NHK, catering to kids in kindergarten, nursery school, and elementary school.

An notable aspect of this application is its video series that presents innovative play ideas. Emphasizing play is essential for fostering social and emotional skills, commonly referred to as non-cognitive skills, especially during early childhood, an area of growing interest within the educational realm.

Designed for use in environments like kindergartens, nursery schools, and homes, the "play" video series aims to engage children in attempting the activities showcased.

These social-emotional skills or non-cognitive skills involve a range of abilities such as perseverance, communication, and emotional regulation.

Features:

• A timer for managing screen time helps children adhere to usage limits.
• On startup, the app checks the proximity of the user's eyes to the screen, issuing an alert if too close.
• After each video, adults are provided with encouraging prompts to facilitate deeper thinking and enhance engagement in the activity.
• Adults have access to a log of videos watched by children in the administration panel.

Note:

- Internet connectivity is necessary with a preference for high-speed connections.

- Users are responsible for internet costs and telephone charges incurred.

- NHK Kids is exclusively available in Japanese.
