You don’t need another article.
You need clarity.

Created by a software engineer and mum of two, this printable guide cuts through the noise and gives you realistic, age-based screen time guidance you can actually use.

In five minutes, you’ll feel clearer about:

– What’s reasonable for your child’s age (without extremes)
– What actually matters — and what doesn’t
– How to set limits without turning every day into a battle

Because the questions don’t stop:

Is this too much?
Is YouTube okay?
What about gaming?
Why does every expert say something different?

Screens aren’t going anywhere.
But the constant second-guessing doesn’t have to stay.

This guide brings the essentials together in one simple, fridge-friendly reference – broken down by age (0–2, 2–5, 5–9, 10–12) so you can adjust as your child grows.

It’s not a rigid rulebook.
It’s a confidence tool.

Designed to be:

• Easy to scan in under a minute
• Grounded in developmental stages
• Practical for real families
• Free from shame or unrealistic expectations

Print it. Keep it nearby. Come back to it when things feel fuzzy.

Because you don’t need perfect rules.

You just need to know you’re on the right track.
