Create a Family Media Plan
A family media plan helps everyone discuss their screen habits and reflect on what matters most, so you can build routines and support balance, connection, and wellbeing, together.
How to Create Your Family Media Plan
You can complete the whole activity right on this page — no printer needed.
- Reflect: Each family member fills out their own Media Snapshot. There’s one version for kids and one for grown-ups, and you can add as many family members as you like.
- Share: Compare notes as a family. What surprised you? Where do your answers overlap?
- Plan: Fill out your Family Media Plan together, agree on one small change to try, and sign it as a family.
- Check In: Decide how often you’ll revisit the plan, and put it somewhere everyone can see it.
When you’re finished, you can preview your plan and download or print it: one page for each person’s snapshot, plus your shared family plan.* And if someone in your family prefers pen and paper, there is a blank PDF for each worksheet you can download and print instead.
