Family Contract for Responsible Electronic Device Use

One of the things we’ve learned is that a family contract can be a valuable tool to help families build trust and avoid conflicts. We’ve also found that for a contract to work well, everyone who signs the contract should have a say in how the contract is written. That doesn’t mean you will get everything you want and, as you probably expect, your parents still have the final say on family rules. However, if you and your parents work together to prepare an Electronic Device Contract you can both live by, your parents might be willing to give you a little more freedom and you might not give them as many gray hairs. In the end, knowing what to expect will make everyone’s life a little smoother, with fewer disagreements.
