A Technology Use Contract at Home

My family recently had a dinner discussion of ways to make a positive change with technology use and screen time at our house.  We followed Common Sense Media's 1:1 customizable contract and set some boundaries.  The difference has been astronomical and we are very happy to have time limits and clear expectations in our household of when, where, and for how long it is ok to be on technology.  Surprisingly enough, there haven't been any complaints from our children either.  They know the rules and since they were part of the decision making process they stand by them.
