A new gadget promises "less screentime, more lifetime" for kids.

Move over, Bob the Builder—there's a new Bob in town. Meet BOB, "the screentime controller." This handy $99 device puts parents back in control of kid's TV, computer, or video game screen time. All you have to do is plug the TV or monitor into BOB, then program in how much time your child is allowed to watch or play. Once your kid reaches hourly, daily, or weekly limits, BOB shuts off the screen. That means BOB can be the bad guy in screentime negotiations instead of you for a change. Oh, BOB, we think we're in love!
