Screen Time Rules for Kids and Teens
Clear boundaries that reduce conflict and support sleep, learning, and family routines.
Good family rules are simple, visible, and consistent. Kids cooperate more when expectations are clear and predictable, not negotiated every day.
1) Set rules by context
Use different defaults for school nights, family meals, homework hours, and bedtime. Context-based rules feel fairer because they match real life.
2) Keep rules specific and measurable
Replace vague goals like "less phone" with concrete expectations, for example no social media after 9pm or no gaming before homework is complete.
3) Make exceptions intentional
Build a process for exceptions (weekends, special events, school projects) so flexibility does not become confusion.
