Screen-time contract
An agreement on screen rules written together with your child. The boundaries are clear, and you're no longer the daily "bad cop."
It's a two-sided A4 agreement spelling out device rules: when, how long, where and what in return. Both sides sign it — child and parent — so the rule stops being an imposed ban and becomes a shared agreement.
For families where the phone and tablet are a source of daily friction — especially for children aged 7–15. This template requires a parent–child conversation, because its power lies in the fact that you set the rules together.
Fields for concrete rules (duration, times, screen-free places), commitments from both sides, and space for signatures and a date. The assistant proposes age-realistic rules — ones you can actually keep.
Because an agreement you co-create and sign works better than a ban. The signature is a symbolic "I agree" — easier to fall back on than another argument.
Best from around age 7, when a child grasps the idea of an agreement. For younger children the assistant simplifies the rules into a few picture-based ones.
The contract includes consequences agreed in advance, so the response is predictable rather than emotional. The assistant helps choose consequences that are proportionate, not punitive.
