DIGITAL DEVICE SAFETY CONTRACT
Creating and signing a digital device use contract with your child helps establish clear expectations, responsibilities, and boundaries for using technology. Here’s why it’s beneficial:
- Encourages Responsible Use – Helps children understand appropriate screen time, safe browsing, and respectful online behavior.
- Sets Clear Rules & Consequences – Outlines what’s allowed and what’s not, reducing confusion and potential conflicts.
- Promotes Online Safety – Educates kids about cyberbullying, privacy, and the importance of not sharing personal information.
- Strengthens Communication – Opens the door for ongoing conversations about digital habits and online experiences.
- Builds Trust & Accountability – Kids agree to follow the rules, knowing that responsible use leads to more digital freedom.
- Helps Balance Screen Time – Encourages a healthy balance between online and offline activities.
