Our son Raphael has absolutely loved his Yoto Mini. He has had long Covid for 18 months now and suffers from fatigue, meaning he can't be as active as he would like. He also finds reading tiring now and attends school part time. Having the Yoto Mini means he can still enjoy books like before, as it gives him a screen free activity to do when he is not feeling well. He is 9 and loves the science podcasts, music cards and the wide variety of Yoto Cards that are available for him to choose from.
The Yoto is also a great distraction at bed time when he is often in pain from stomach aches and headaches. It means he is relaxing and happier and can fall asleep easier. Getting a good night sleep is crucial for him so this is a huge win! The Yoto Mini is also great for all the hospital trips and "boring" medical appointments we have to go to as well. The Yoto Mini distracted him from his symptoms, kept him calm and occupied him in the waiting room. The whole family has fallen in love with the Yoto Mini, so much so that we may have to buy a second one for his little sister!
He has gained lots of knowledge from the science podcasts and will often share some new facts he has learnt with the rest of the family. I am half French and I love that we can get French speaking cards for him to keep up with his French. It is especially useful that we can slow down the speed to make it easier for him to understand.
