Screen Time Reference Guide for Young Kids (Ages 0–12)
Screens aren’t going anywhere – and neither are the questions.
How much is too much?
Should YouTube be allowed?
What about gaming?
What changes as they get older?
This printable guide brings the essentials together in one place.
It breaks screen time down by age group (0–2, 2–5, 6–9, 10–12) and outlines:
- Realistic daily use ranges
- What screens are best used for at each stage
- Simple, practical tips
- Gentle reminders of what actually matters
It’s not a strict rulebook.
It’s a steady reference you can come back to when things feel unclear.
Designed to be:
- Easy to scan
- Free from guilt
- Based on developmental stages
- Practical for real families
Print it. Keep it nearby. Adjust as needed.
Because you don’t need perfect rules – you just need clarity.
