Resources you can actually print
Templates rather than reading. Each one is a single page designed to be printed or saved as a PDF: free, no email required, and yours to edit.
no email wallEvery printable here is free. None of them, this one included, sit behind an email address, an account or a paywall, and nothing on this site does.
A one-page log for seven days. Tracking alone shifts behaviour before you change anything, which is why week one is observation only.
Three versions by age (7 to 10, 11 to 13, 14 and over) to fill in together before the phone arrives, while nobody is defending anything.
A starting point for teams who want fewer phones in meetings without turning it into a surveillance exercise.
A reference card for the fridge. The AAP replaced its hour limits in February 2026, so this prints what the guidance says now, and what it means at home.
A weekly grid for households that put something before the screen. Four things down the left, seven days across, and the caveat most versions leave out.
Four signs to print and put up: the table, the bedroom, the desk and the car. One per page, nothing to trim off.
Which one you want
- The screen time tracker is for the week before you change anything. It logs a daily total, a pickup count and what you opened the phone for, and the third column is the one that produces the finding. Most people discover the problem is not long sessions but dozens of short ones with no purpose they can name.
- The family phone agreement is for the conversation before the first phone arrives, while nobody is defending anything. It comes in three versions, because the terms that matter at seven are not the ones that matter at fifteen: a shared first device, a first phone of their own, and the older teenager where the sheet works as a negotiation or not at all. All three cover where the phone sleeps, when it is away, and the clause most templates leave out: what happens when the agreement gets broken.
- The screen time by age card is the one to stick on the fridge. Most charts of this kind still print an hour count per age band; the American Academy of Pediatrics replaced that framing in February 2026 with five questions about the child, the content and what the screen is displacing. The card prints both, with its sources on the sheet so you can check them rather than take our word for it.
- The earn your screen time chart is a blank weekly grid for households that put something before the screen. You write the rows, because a chart that arrives with somebody else’s four tasks on it is about somebody else’s household. It also carries the caveat these charts usually skip: making screen time the prize teaches that it is the most valuable thing on offer.
- The phone-free zone signs are four one-page signs for the table, the bedroom, the desk and the car. They are for the rule you already agreed and nobody can remember at the point it matters.
- The workplace phone policy is for whoever has to write one. It is built around naming what counts as urgent and building the exception route before anyone has to ask for it, because a rule with no stated exception is a rule people quietly ignore.
Free, and free of the usual conditions
None of these sit behind an email address, an account or a paywall, and nothing on the page tracks whether you took one. That is a deliberate choice on a site about attention: a printable held hostage for a newsletter signup is an advertisement wearing a worksheet’s clothes.
Each sheet is one page by design, so it prints on a single sheet and can live somewhere visible. A tracker in a drawer records nothing.
