Family Reset Guide

This is a one-page conversation starter for homes that want less screen chaos and more attention, sleep, calm, and actual presence.

House rules that make the phone less powerful

1. No phones at the table.
2. No phones in bedrooms at night.
3. Charge devices in one shared location.
4. Replace dead time with one planned family ritual.

Questions to ask as a family

1. When does the phone change the mood of the room?
2. What time of day feels most hijacked?
3. What would we like more of if screens took up less space?

Replacement rituals

1. After dinner: walk, cleanup playlist, stretching, or ten-minute talk.
2. Before bed: books, journaling, prayer, quiet music, or lights-down conversation.
3. Weekend reset: one block of time with phones out of reach.
