Free Family Online Safety Agreement for Kids 8–12
$0.00
A one-page agreement for families with kids ages 8 to 12: device rules you fill in together, seven promises for your child, four for the grown-up, and space for both to sign.
What’s included
- How we use devices: blanks for where devices are used, screen time on school days and weekends, and where devices charge overnight.
- My promises: seven plain-language promises about passwords, personal information, downloads and purchases, telling a trusted adult, never meeting online-only contacts, being kind, and asking before posting photos of others.
- My grown-up’s promises: four promises from the parent, including staying calm and listening when something goes wrong.
- Space for trusted adults, what happens if a rule is broken, your own extra rules, signatures and a review date.
How to use it
Sit down together and read each line out loud. Talk about why it matters, cross out anything that doesn’t fit your family, and add your own rules. When you both agree, sign it and keep it near where devices are used. Pick a date to look at it again as your child gets older.
