A screen time agreement, built with your kid.

It’s the kind of thing to do sitting next to them. The questions cover what screens are for in your house, when they go off, where they live, and how often you’ll come back and look at the rules again. The output is a printable family agreement and a weekly schedule.

Anchored in current guidance from AAP, WHO, NHS, the Canadian Paediatric Society, and the Australian Department of Health. Not medical advice. You can edit any answer and run it again.

01 · A few things first

Worth knowing before you start.

01 · A note

Do it with your kid.

The agreement holds up better when your kid helped write it. Even a five-year-old has opinions worth hearing. For older kids the difference between a plan made with them and a plan made for them is usually the difference between one they follow and one they quietly work around.

02 · A note

One kid at a time.

Age is the single biggest factor in what the rules should look like, and the right plan for a four-year-old and a thirteen-year-old isn’t the same document no matter how you slice it. If you have more than one kid, run the tool again for each.

03 · A note

Expect to revisit it.

Every agreement built here gets a review date baked in. The plan isn’t a fortress. It’s a starting point you’ll adjust the first time something stops working, and that’s how this is supposed to go.
