As a teacher, I would suggest that you have at most three rules. The Rule of Three is geared towards our human minds to remember stuff. Anything more than that, and we’ll start to forget this or that.

For a contract to be effective, I think you should spell out x minutes per day (from Y hours to Z hours - if you deem it necessary). Of course, you may want to give your daughter more screen time on weekends. This differential treatment on weekends has to be written into the contract too.

The consequences have to be more explicit too. Is it three strikes and you’re out? Or is it flout one time and a phone becomes a deal breaker? As it stands, this is too vague. Children will spot the loophole and chew you alive lol

If I do not comply with these agreements, my parents will have the right to take away my electronic equipment for as long as they deem appropriate; I will not be able to make any claims or complain.

Thanks for the suggestion! I saw this contract on the Internet, it's an outline or idea of what it could be. I haven't done my daughter's yet, I like that there are 3 rules and of course, I agree that the hours and days should be specified. I think this contract is so long because it's aimed at older children, that's why I also mentioned that it can be modified to suit each family's taste and preference 🤎
