Tips from other parents
Create a bedtime routine
Set up a "bedtime" show with calm stories or lullabies. Use quiet hours to automatically stop playback.
Rotate content weekly
Keep things fresh by adding new podcasts or audiobooks each week. Remove finished content to keep the library manageable.
Use the volume cap
Set a maximum volume in parental controls to protect little ears, especially with headphones.
Download for travel
Download episodes before road trips or flights. Avery works perfectly offline.
