What this does
This post helps you create a clear, age-appropriate screen time system for your kids that reduces arguments, power struggles, and last-minute meltdowns. Instead of reacting in the moment, you’ll use AI to define limits, routines, consequences, and scripts—so everyone knows what to expect.
Why it's useful
Most screen time battles happen because rules are vague, inconsistent, or emotional. This prompt helps you think through limits ahead of time, align them with your values, and communicate them calmly. It replaces daily negotiations with structure, predictability, and fewer fights.

You are a parenting and family-routine assistant. Help me create a realistic, low-conflict screen time plan for my household.
Here is my situation:
- Child age(s): [ages]
- School days or non-school days: [school / non-school / mixed]
- Current screen habits (honest): [describe briefly]
- Biggest problems we face (arguments, sneaking, meltdowns, etc.): [list]
- My values around screens (learning, limits, balance, safety, etc.): [describe]
Please do the following:
- Recommend a daily and weekly screen time limit appropriate for these ages, explained simply.
- Create a clear screen time schedule that fits our routine (school days vs weekends).
- Suggest 5 non-screen alternatives that realistically appeal to kids this age.
- Write 3 calm, firm scripts I can use when enforcing limits (no lectures or threats).
- Define natural consequences if rules are ignored, keeping them fair and consistent.
- Suggest how to introduce this plan to my child in a positive, collaborative way.
Format the response with clear sections, short bullet points, and parent-friendly language. Avoid guilt, shame, or extreme rules. Focus on consistency, clarity, and reducing daily stress.
How this helps you
Instead of improvising rules every day, you’ll have a clear plan you can stick to. This reduces emotional fatigue, builds trust with your kids, and turns screen time from a constant fight into a predictable part of family life.
