This isn't a true/false test — it's not scored and gives no verdict. It's just a few questions worth pausing on now and then. The goal isn't to judge yourself, but to take a quick look at your family's rhythm around screens.
Questions Worth Asking Yourself
- Sleep: Does screen use close to bedtime make it harder to fall asleep?
- Movement: Is there still enough time left for playing outside, running, and moving around?
- Family time: Are mealtimes or time spent together usually screen-free?
- Transition moments: Is the reaction when a screen gets turned off noticeably stronger than expected for their age (a one-off is normal — worth watching if it's frequent and intense)?
- Content awareness: Can your child comfortably tell you what they're doing/watching on screen?
- Variety: Is screen time stuck on one type of activity (e.g. just watching videos), or does it include different kinds like playing, learning, and creativity?
How Should You Use This List?
If you find yourself answering "hmm, not great, actually" to a few of these, that's not an alarm — it's just a small opportunity to adjust, like making the bedroom a screen-free zone, or setting phones aside at mealtimes. Small, sustainable changes usually work better than big, sudden bans.
💡 This list is not a diagnostic or assessment tool. It's a everyday guide to help you check in on your family's habits. If you have an ongoing concern, talking to your child's doctor or school counselor is always a good step.
