Skylight’s Touchscreen Calendar Got my Whole Family on the Same Page
The Skylight touchscreen calendar is a digital wall-mounted device designed to help families coordinate schedules and chores. The reviewer found it particularly effective for keeping older children engaged and informed about family activities.
Why it matters
Digital family management tools are increasingly popular as households seek to streamline communication and reduce the mental load of scheduling.
For years, my husband and I shared a Google Calendar. It’s helpful, but not enough. Which is why I was excited when my family received a Skylight Calendar to try out.
Two of my kids—now a teen and a tween, ages 15 and 12—are just starting to become better at managing their own schedules, and they’re old enough to engage with a connected, touchscreen calendar. Families with younger children may not get the same benefits from a device like this, which WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell learned when she tested the Skylight with her preschool-age kid. My kids are touchscreen natives, and my 12-year-old son took to it right away.
