The Havyn Challenge gives children aged 5–13 the skills to actually navigate technology — not more rules, not more restrictions. Six compasses. Seven badges. A grand prize draw. Free.
20 minutes a week. No app. No catch. Starts 1st July 2026.
If any of these feel familiar — this programme was built for your family.
You don't have to be struggling. You just have to care about getting this right.
The nightly battle. Getting your child off their device feels like a negotiation every single evening. The arguments are exhausting. The limits aren't holding.
The lost focus. Homework that should take 20 minutes takes two hours. Their teacher has mentioned attention. You're wondering if something's wrong — or if it's the screen.
The meltdown. When the iPad goes away, your child falls apart. Not just upset — dysregulated. You've started leaving screens on longer just to keep the peace.
The disappearing child. They seem more comfortable online than in the room. Their real-world friendships feel thinner. You're not sure how to talk about it.
These aren't parenting failures. They're the predictable result of technology that was designed — by some of the most sophisticated engineers in the world — to be exactly this hard to put down.
You were never the problem. But you can absolutely be part of the solution.

The Online Safety Act is now in enforcement. The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 has passed. The UK government published its first-ever official screen time guidance in March 2026.
Regulation matters. But laws can only shape the environment. They cannot build the skills. A child who understands how technology works — who can regulate their own emotions, set their own limits, and use a device with genuine intention — is more protected than any algorithm or law can make them.
That's not a small claim. It's what the research consistently shows. And it's exactly what the Havyn Challenge is built to do.
Emily is a clinician. In her practice, she was watching children — and adults — struggle with patterns that had roots in how they'd learned to relate to technology. The dysregulation. The anxiety. The hollow restlessness that no screen actually solved.
Alex works in technology safety. She was watching from the inside — seeing how the systems were built, what they were optimised for, and what that was doing to children.
That's Havyn. And the Challenge is where we start — together, as families, in the six weeks before the summer really begins.
"We don't want to raise children who are protected from the internet. We want to raise children who are ready for it."— Emily & Alex, Havyn Founders
The Havyn Challenge isn't a course or a curriculum. It's a family experience. Each week, you receive a compass — a guide to one specific skill area, with activities tailored to your child's age, a family challenge to try together, and a badge to unlock when you're done.
No lectures. No guilt. No perfect parenting required. Just your family, 20 minutes, and a compass pointing in the right direction.
Join Free — Starts 1st JulyRegister your family in under 60 seconds. You'll immediately receive your welcome pack — including a printable reward ladder for your wall at home.
Every Monday from 1st July, a new compass arrives in your inbox. One problem. One skill set. Age-appropriate activities for your child — and a family challenge to try together.
Complete each week's challenge to unlock a compass badge. Finish all six and your child earns their Digital Explorer certificate — and your family is entered into the grand prize draw.
Each compass targets something your family is actually living. Not abstract concepts — the specific, daily friction points that make technology feel like it's winning.
Shield teaches children why limits matter — so the boundary stops coming from you and starts coming from them. Less conflict. Better sleep. A calmer house.
Tempo rebuilds the attention span that fast-moving content quietly erodes — helping children slow down, find their rhythm, and concentrate again without being told to.
Link builds the social intelligence that works in both worlds — so your child can read a room, hold a real conversation, and build friendships that exist beyond a chat thread.
This isn't bad behaviour — it's a nervous system response. Emi helps children understand what they're feeling, where it comes from, and find their own way back to calm.
Artie flips the relationship. This week, your child makes something. Technology as a canvas — not just a screen to watch. It changes how they see a device entirely.
Codie builds the critical thinking that makes a child impossible to manipulate. When you understand how something works, you're in control of it — not the other way around.
Every Monday: a parent explainer, age-appropriate activities for 5–8 and 9–13, and your weekly family challenge. Arrives in your inbox — no login, no app.
One badge per compass, unlocked when your family completes the week's challenge. Printable, shareable, and genuinely earned.
The seventh badge — and the one that counts. Every child who completes all six compasses earns a personalised Digital Explorer certificate.
A branded reward ladder for your wall — so your child can track their compass journey and watch the badges fill in, week by week.
Every family that earns their Digital Explorer certificate is entered into a grand prize draw at the end of the challenge. Details revealed at sign-up. One more reason to see it through.
The Havyn Challenge is for every family that wants to get ahead of this — before the habits harden and the conversations get harder.
Playful, hands-on activities that build awareness through games and conversation — naming feelings, noticing how screens make us feel, and building the first healthy habits without pressure or lectures.
More complex activities around social media, distraction, online identity, and developing genuinely confident, self-directed choices about technology — before the patterns set.
Register now — it takes under a minute, and your welcome pack (including the printable reward ladder) arrives immediately.
Join the Challenge — It's FreeThe habits forming now are the ones your child carries. July is a good time to change them.
It's free. It takes 60 seconds. And your family gets seven weeks of something that actually matters.
No spam. Unsubscribe any time. We will never share your details.
The children going through this challenge this summer will begin September with something most of their peers don't have — a language for how technology makes them feel, and the skills to do something about it.
That's the gift. And it starts with one family saying yes.
Join Free — Starts 1st July 2026Yes. No subscription, no credit card, no upsell waiting at the end. The Havyn Challenge is free because we believe every family should have access to this — regardless of budget. The only thing we ask is that you show up for your child each week.
Around 20 minutes per week for the family challenge activity. The weekly email takes about five minutes to read. We designed it to fit into a normal family week — not add another thing to an already full plate.
Yes — the 5–8 age band activities are entirely age-appropriate. Playful, low-pressure, and designed to build awareness through conversation and simple activities, not concepts or lectures.
Six compass badges — one for each week (Shield, Tempo, Link, Emi, Artie, Codie) — plus the Digital Explorer certificate, earned by completing all six. That's seven in total, and the certificate is the one that goes on the wall.
Every family that earns their Digital Explorer certificate is automatically entered. We'll reveal the prize in your welcome pack. We think you'll like it.
That's exactly who this is built for. Each week's email includes separate activities for 5–8 and 9–13, so every child in your family gets something right for them.
Nothing to download, nothing to buy. The whole challenge runs by email. Most weekly activities use things you already have at home.
Life happens. Every week's content stays in your inbox — you can catch up at your own pace. The important thing is that you come back.
Yes — we run a schools webinar programme alongside the family challenge. Email us at hello@havyn.online if you're a teacher or school lead.
