Family tech contract
Build a printable agreement your whole family helps create — because rules children help make are rules children keep. Fill in the form and watch the contract build on the right.
💡 Why this works — and a tip before you start
- Agreements children help create are far more likely to be followed than rules handed down from above.
- Fill this in together — ideally with your child in the room. Ask their input on the limits before you set them.
- Once done, print it, sign it together, and put it somewhere visible — the fridge, their bedroom door, or next to the TV.
- Revisit it every 6 months as your child grows — what works at 10 won't work at 13.
