Technology & Screen Time

Make a screen-time plan together

Turn repeated screen conflict into a clear agreement that children and teenagers can understand and help shape.

  • 6-9
  • 10-13
  • 14+

A useful plan is specific enough to guide daily choices and flexible enough to revisit as school, sleep and friendships change.

Build the agreement

  • Start with sleep, movement, school responsibilities and in-person connection.
  • Choose screen windows and device-free places together.
  • Decide on a ten-minute warning and what happens when time is up.
  • Set a weekly review date.
