Ways to use it

As a family

Work through it together to build a child-led plan. Your family’s limits still matter and can be part of it.

In session

Use it over several sessions, or as single worksheets when screens come up.

Over time

Come back to the plan as things change, like busy terms, holidays or low-energy weeks.

Who it’s for: parents and carers, psychologists and allied health professionals supporting tweens and teens, including neurodivergent young people.

Questions

How do I get it?

After you buy, you’ll get instant access to the PDF on the confirmation page and by email.

Can I print it?

Yes. The handouts and worksheets are ready to print, so you can print the whole guide or just the pages you need.

Does it set screen time limits?

No. It isn’t about prescriptive limits or judgement. It helps families make informed, values-led decisions, which might mean focusing on the type of use rather than hours.

Is it suitable for neurodivergent young people?

Yes. It recognises that many ND young people use technology to connect, regulate or transition, and that screen use can rise when burnout is emerging.

Can I share it with colleagues?

Each purchase is for one person’s use, so please don’t share the electronic copy. If your school or service would like to use it more widely, or in a group program, email hello@pocketpsych.com.au to ask about licensing.
