Family Media Agreement — Ages 11–13
The two-way family media agreement for ages 11-13. The child promises (private accounts, think before posting, stop-block-tell, check before believing, balanced weeks) and the grown-ups promise back (explain before saying no, no reading messages without a reason, same rules at family times, trust grows with freedom).

How to use this with your child
Negotiate, don't impose. At this age the agreement works only if your child had a real say in it.
- Talk through each promise and genuinely invite pushback — then adjust.
- Follow your own column visibly; teens spot grown-up exceptions fast.
- Frame privacy and freedom as things that grow with demonstrated responsibility, not things taken away.
Revisit every 3 months and expect the agreement to evolve.
Other age versions: 5–7, 8–10 and 11–13 — pick the one that fits your child. For daily time rules, pair it with the Family Screen-Time Agreement.
Print tips
- Print at 100% scale — not “fit to page”, so the sizes stay true.
- Cards print best on thicker paper; laminate them for a school bag or wallet.
- The ink-saver version is outlines only, so children can colour it in themselves.
- Keep one copy on the fridge and one where the family already looks every day.
