GIANT Family Cellphone Contract Resources

No matter your children’s age—preschool, school-aged, or adolescent—there’s little doubt they’ll be surrounded by technology as they grow up. Here, we present a set of actionable strategies and tools to support families’ healthy digital well-being, with a focus on children’s cellphone use.

Parents can use these resources to create their own set of “Family Rule Cards” and a “Family Contract” to establish family rules, routines, and boundaries.
