Our Switch-Off Plan

A free, one-page family screen-time agreement for the fridge. Decide together how screen time ends, what happens next, and when screens stay off — so switching off stops being a daily battle.

Our Switch-Off Plan printable — sections for before screens go on, when it’s time to stop, things to do after screens, screen-free times and a calm script for grown-ups

How to use it

Children follow rules they helped to make.

Fill it in together

Sit down when everyone is calm, not mid-meltdown. Let your child choose some of the after-screen activities.

Put it where screens live

Stick it on the fridge or by the TV. When it’s time to stop, point to the plan instead of starting an argument.

Stick to it calmly

The plan works because it’s the same every day. Read our guide to screen-time meltdowns for what to do when it gets hard.
