From the Office of the Children's eSafety Commissioner: Managing Screen Time

Lead by example - reduce your own screen time.

Agree on daily screen time limits - it’s not about punishment, it’s about keeping a balance.

Start with small reductions - to help lessen any resistance.

Resist giving mobile devices to children when going out – take books or toys instead.

Set tech-free zones and times at home – e.g. all screens off in bedrooms after a specified time.

Use tech tools to manage access - such as parental controls.

Be involved – watch TV and play games together.

Plan screen-free time - like outdoor play, music and sport.
