Family Media Plan Tool

Families looking for resources about managing their children's media use have an option that centers their family values in the decision-making process about what kinds of media and how much time their child should be spending online or with a screen.

The American Academy of Pediatrics launched a new online tool in conjunction with its latest recommendations on children and media use in October. Whether a child is in pre-school, high school or in between, the Family Media Plan tool can help parents define their own family guidelines for media use. The tool includes a media time calculator and is available in both English and Spanish.
