Family Media Agreement
The Family Media Agreement is here to help you chat and make intentional choices about how you use digital media as a family. This is an agreement that the whole family makes together to decide how you are going to use your devices. It’s not about strict rules, it’s about deciding together what you will and won’t do as a family so that you can be healthy both physically and emotionally.
Below you will find a free, printable template for you to create your very own bespoke family agreement.
Simply download, print, get snacks in, and get the family together to fill it out.
The first two pages are the agreement that we’ve created for you, but we’ve also included blank pages in case you want to get creative or tailor it to suit your family!
Example agreement
Although each family’s media agreement will be unique to them, it can be helpful to see what other families have written.
Here is a real-life example from Danielle whose children are aged 14, 16 and 18.
