Intentional Screen Guide

A practical toolkit to help families reduce screen time battles and build healthy digital habits

If you’re tired of daily screen time arguments, unclear limits, and device-related meltdowns — this guide gives you a simple, structured way to reset screen habits with your child.

The Intentional Screen Guide helps you move from conflict to clarity using conversation, agreement, and daily structure — not punishment or power struggles.

Designed for real families, this toolkit gives you step-by-step support to set boundaries, build responsibility, and create calmer screen routines.

What’s Included

✔️ Conversation Guide
A parent-friendly script and framework to help you talk about screen time and online safety calmly and confidently.

✔️ Family Screen Time Contract (Printable)
A one-page contract you complete and sign together with your child to set clear limits, expectations, and responsibilities.

✔️ Daily Screen Time Checklist (2 Versions)
Morning–Afternoon–Night checklist that helps children complete key tasks before screen time. Includes a blank editable version and a pre-filled example version. Designed to print in colour and laminate for daily reuse.

Why It Works

• Reduces daily arguments about devices
• Creates clear, agreed limits
• Builds responsibility and independence
• Supports healthy routines before screens
• Encourages parent-child collaboration
• Turns screen time into a structured privilege — not a constant negotiation
