How to write a family media agreement that sticks
A one-page family media agreement works when kids help write it, parents follow it too, and everyone revisits it twice a year.
Family covers the domestic side of media: rules that hold up, shared viewing when siblings are four years apart, disputes over devices at the table, and the agreements households renegotiate as children grow. Approaches come from parents and researchers rather than one ideal home. Written for families wanting something workable.
The negotiations at home: device rules that hold, shared watching across age gaps, sibling disputes and agreements that survive a second week.
