7 Simple Ways to Start Your Family Screen-Time Reset

Choose one small change to explore together. Adapt it to your child’s age and your household.

  1. Start with a calm family conversation.

    Listen to what each person enjoys about technology and what feels difficult.

  2. Review when devices are most commonly used.

    Notice the moments when phones interrupt meals, homework or winding down.

  3. Identify one screen-free family activity.

    Let your tween help choose a walk, board game, recipe or creative project.

  4. Agree on a realistic evening routine.

    Choose a manageable wind-down moment and decide where devices will stay.

  5. Choose one device-free shared space or moment.

    Begin with something achievable, such as a meal or a short shared activity.

  6. Explain the reasons behind family boundaries.

    Talk about what the rule makes room for, and model it yourself where possible.

  7. Review what worked at the end of the week.

    Ask what felt helpful, what was difficult and what you would like to adjust.
