Unplug Together — Family Digital Detox Kit
This isn't "rules for kids." It's a deal the whole family makes together.
Screen time battles are exhausting. You confiscate a phone, they sulk. You set a timer, they negotiate. You lecture, they tune out.
Unplug Together takes a different approach. Instead of imposing rules, you build them as a family — and parents follow them too. Instead of saying "go play
outside," you give them 60 age-appropriate ideas for what to actually do. Instead of awkward confrontations, you get conversation starters that make screen
time something you can talk about calmly.
What's inside (24 pages):
- Family Screen-Time Agreement — A contract everyone signs. Screen-free times, screen-free zones, agreed consequences, and exceptions. Parents commit too —
because "do as I say, not as I do" doesn't work.
- 12 Conversation Starters — Card-style prompts for the dinner table. Questions like "What's one app you'd delete if you had to?" and "Do you ever pick up
your phone without knowing why?" No lectures. Just real talk.
- Activity Guides by Age — 20 activities each for ages 8–10, 11–13, and 14–16. Because a 9-year-old and a 15-year-old need very different options.
- 7-Day Family Challenge — One page per day with a family challenge, individual challenges, and a dinner check-in question. Themes: Swap & Share, Get
Outside, Make Something, Play Together, Be Curious, Help Someone, Celebrate.
- Weekly Family Check-In — Reusable sheet for ongoing use beyond the 7 days.
- Parent Cheat Sheet — Parental controls setup, recommended family app blockers, and when to worry vs. when to relax. One page, no waffle.
- Reward Chart — For younger kids who like visual progress. Sticker/stamp spaces with milestone rewards.
- Completion Certificate — Stick it on the fridge. The whole family earned it.
