Video Media
Choose one

How do you curate video content for your child?

Video content can very greatly in quality and the last few decades has seen an explosion in content creation due to the low costs of video production, distribution, and monteization. Also, unlike broadcast television or hollywood films platforms like YouTube or shows made for direct streamign do not have standard rating systems. This puts increased pressure on parents/guardians to curate video media to meet their content and quality expectations.
Tell me more…
Adult-curated means a parent/guardian has hand-picked what's available — like a DVD collection or YouTube Kids in approve-only mode where every video requires parent/guardian sign-off. Age-based platform curation uses built-in filters, such as Disney+, Netflix Kids profiles, or YouTube Kids in category mode, to limit content to age-appropriate material without per-video approval. Full access means the child can browse any content on general streaming platforms like YouTube.com or Netflix.com without restrictions.

Are autoplay and algorithmic recommendations allowed?

Autoplay automatically queues the next video without any action from your child. Algorithmic recommendations suggest videos based on watch history, optimized to maximize engagement rather than quality or age-appropriateness.
Tell me more…
Both features are designed to keep viewers watching longer. Autoplay can lead to hours of unintended screen time, and recommendation algorithms can gradually surface more extreme or age-inappropriate content through a process sometimes called "rabbit holing." Most platforms allow these to be disabled — for example, Netflix has an autoplay toggle in account settings, and YouTube lets you turn off autoplay and pause watch history so recommendations reset.

Which types of content are acceptable in video media your child watches?

Select all content types you are comfortable with your child encountering. Content not selected should be avoided or blocked where possible.
Tell me more…
Streaming platforms and YouTube do not use a unified rating system, so the same content label can mean different things across services. Being explicit about which content types are acceptable helps both parents/guardians and children have a shared understanding of boundaries. Consider discussing these choices with your child so they understand the reasoning, not just the rules.
Social Media
Choose one

What level of social media participation is your child allowed?

Social media participation ranges from anonymous read-only browsing to posting publicly under a real identity.
Tell me more…
Anonymous read-only access means your child can browse public content without an account, leaving no trace and receiving no messages. A private account with real-life friends only limits followers to people your child knows in person, with a parent/guardian approving the friend list. A pseudonymous public account lets your child post publicly but without their real name or photo — common in creative or gaming communities. A public account with real identity is the most open, allowing anyone to find, follow, and contact your child by name. Most platforms have a minimum age of 13 (COPPA), regardless of the level chosen.

Do you view your child's posts, followers, and following list?

There are many strategies for guiding a child in the world of social media from regular discussions to platform enforced oversight.
Tell me more…
Some families share account credentials so a guardian can log in and review activity at any time. Others do periodic check-ins together with the child present. Some platforms support family supervision features — for example, Instagram's Family Center and TikTok's Family Pairing let a linked guardian account see follower lists and set content restrictions without needing the child's password. The level of visibility you choose is worth discussing openly with your child so expectations are clear.
Select all that apply

Which types of personal information can your child share publicly on social media?

Select all types of information your child is allowed to share in posts, bios, or captions visible to others.
Tell me more…
Oversharing personal details can make a child easier to locate or contact by strangers. School name and location are particularly sensitive because they create a predictable physical schedule. Many families draw a hard line at location data and school identity even when other sharing is permitted. For private accounts the risk is lower, but followers can screenshot and reshare content beyond the intended audience.
Gaming
Select all that apply

What types of game experiences are acceptable?

Games range from fully offline single-player experiences to always-online games with live interactions with strangers.
Tell me more…
Offline games like Celeste or Stardew Valley have no internet component at all. Online co-op games like Minecraft (on a private server) involve known friends only. Games like Roblox and Fortnite connect your child with strangers by default and often include in-game chat and micro-transactions.
Skip the remaining questions in this section →

Are games with micro-transactions acceptable?

Micro-transactions are small in-game purchases for cosmetic items, extra levels, or gameplay advantages.
Tell me more…
Examples include buying "V-Bucks" in Fortnite for skins, or loot boxes in games that randomise rewards. Some parents/guardians are comfortable with cosmetic-only purchases on a set budget; others prefer no in-game spending at all.
Yes / No

Are games with loot-boxes/gacha-style/random-drop elements acceptable?

Loot-boxes/gacha-style/random-drop game functions enable a player to use in-game currency and get a random prize. This gameplay element is available in games like Fortnite and Roblox and many phone/tablet games.
Tell me more…
This can be similar to buying a random baseball/Pokemon card but some parents/guardians view them as a game of chance or gambling. Games vary in how pushy and addictive they make the gameplay element but the profit motive of the game publisher can encourage player spending.
Yes / No

Is in-game voice or text chat with strangers acceptable?

Many online games include open chat with other players who are not known to your child.
Tell me more…
In-game chat can expose children to profanity, harassment, and grooming from strangers. Voice chat in particular is difficult to log or review after the fact. Most platforms allow chat to be disabled entirely or restricted to friends-only — for example, Fortnite and Roblox both have chat settings accessible from the parental controls dashboard. Even with restrictions, some games use in-game actions (emotes, item drops) as informal communication channels that bypass text filters.
Messaging Apps
Select all that apply

Which messaging platforms is your child allowed to use?

Messaging apps vary significantly in their privacy features, age restrictions, and parent/guardian visibility. Some are designed for broad social use; others prioritize encryption and privacy.
Tell me more…
SMS and iMessage are built into phones and are the most common starting point for kids. WhatsApp and Signal offer end-to-end encryption, meaning messages cannot be read by the platform or easily monitored by parents/guardians. Snapchat and similar apps feature disappearing messages, which further limit parent/guardian visibility. Some families restrict to SMS/iMessage only because those histories are accessible via iCloud or Google backups.

Who can your child message?

This covers one-on-one and group messaging outside of social media platforms.
Tell me more…
Limiting messaging to known contacts is one of the most effective ways to reduce exposure to grooming and harassment. Most phones support contact restrictions — Apple's Communication Limits in Screen Time lets parents/guardians specify which contacts a child can call or message. Even within a "known contacts" policy, it's worth clarifying whether online-only friends (e.g. from gaming) count as known contacts.
Choose one

Are group chats allowed?

Group chats can include people your child doesn't know personally, and are harder to monitor than one-on-one conversations.
Tell me more…
Group chats — whether in iMessage, WhatsApp, or Snapchat — can be created or joined without a parent/guardian's knowledge, and any member of the group can add new participants. School, sports, and social group chats are common and often feel unavoidable. Setting a clear policy helps children know when to ask before joining a new group.
Yes / No

Are disappearing or auto-delete messages allowed?

Some apps (Snapchat, Signal, WhatsApp) allow messages to automatically delete after a set time, leaving no readable history.
Tell me more…
Disappearing messages prevent after-the-fact review of conversations, which can make it harder to identify bullying, grooming, or other problems. Some families are comfortable with this as a privacy feature for their child; others require that message history be preserved and accessible.
Creative & Productive Use
Select all that apply

Which creative or productive digital activities does your child regularly engage in?

Select all activities your child does with some regularity — not just things they've tried once. This helps other families understand how your child uses screens beyond entertainment.
Tell me more…
Creative and productive screen use is qualitatively different from passive consumption. A child who spends two hours editing a video or writing code is building skills and making something — context that's useful when families are comparing screen time habits. These activities often spill into online communities (tutorials, forums, feedback groups) which may be worth discussing separately.
Choose one

Does your child participate in online communities around these activities?

Many creative tools have associated communities — YouTube tutorials, Reddit forums, Discord servers, or platforms like itch.io or SoundCloud — where creators share work and get feedback.
Tell me more…
Online creative communities can be genuinely valuable for skill development and finding peers with shared interests. They also introduce the same risks as any stranger contact online: unsolicited feedback, inappropriate content, and adults seeking relationships with minors. Whether a child lurks for tutorials, posts work for feedback, or actively chats in a community are meaningfully different levels of participation.
Internet Access & Environment

Where is internet-connected device use allowed in your home?

Research suggests children make safer choices when screen use happens in shared, visible spaces.
Choose one

Is internet access filtered or monitored on your child's devices?

Filtering blocks categories of content; monitoring logs activity for parent/guardian review.
Tell me more…
Tools like Circle, Google Family Link, or Apple Screen Time can block adult content, set time limits, and show usage reports. Some families use filtering only, some monitoring only, and some both.
Yes / No

Are devices kept out of your child's bedroom overnight?

Keeping devices out of the bedroom overnight removes the temptation to use screens after bedtime and during the night.
Tell me more…
Research consistently links devices in the bedroom at night to later bedtimes, shorter sleep, and poorer sleep quality in children and teens. Many families use a central charging station in a common area as a simple, low-conflict solution. Tools like Apple Screen Time, Google Family Link, and Circle can also enforce overnight restrictions automatically.
Choose one

Who can approve new app or game downloads?

App stores make it easy to install new software, including apps with in-app purchases, ads, or inappropriate content.
Tell me more…
Most platforms support requiring a password or parent/guardian approval before any download — free or paid. Apple's Ask to Buy (Family Sharing) and Google Family Link both allow a parent/guardian to approve or deny each download request from their own device before it installs. Setting this up means your child can browse the app store but nothing installs without your sign-off.

Are ads blocked or avoided on your child's devices and video platforms?

Ad blocking tools and paid subscriptions can remove advertising from websites, videos, and apps your child uses.
Tell me more…
Ads served to children can include age-inappropriate content, manipulative marketing, and data-tracking. Options range from platform subscriptions like YouTube Premium (which removes video ads) to browser extensions like uBlock Origin, to network-level blocking via tools like Pi-hole or NextDNS that strip ads across all devices on your home network. Some families treat ad removal as a safety measure; others prefer their child learn to navigate advertising critically.
