You're already fielding the questions—from parents, from administrators, sometimes from yourself. This toolkit gives you one consistent framework to answer them, plus everything you need to bring families into the conversation.
What's Inside?
  • Back-to-School Night talk — a ready-to-use 10-minute facilitator script for the start of the year
  • Parent Engagement Night curriculum — a full 45-minute facilitator guide for a dedicated family event
  • Send-home resources — printable Screen Plan worksheets and Nutrition Label checklists for family folders
  • Email & social content — ready-to-use copy to push the same messaging through your own school channels
  • Teacher discussion starters — conversation prompts for parent conferences and informal check-ins
  • Research brief — an overview of the current research around screen time
  • and more!
Every piece uses the same framework, so the message stays consistent whether a family hears it at Back-to-School Night or reads it in an email: the 3-Question Screen Check, the AAP's 5 C's, and the Screen "Nutrition Label."
"How Much?" Isn't the Right Question
Time matters, but quality matters more. This toolkit reframes the conversation from counting minutes to evaluating content, context, and what screen time is crowding out — so you're not stuck defending a blanket "screens are bad" message, and families walk away with a plan they'll actually use.
