You may want to use this screen time tracker to determine how much time your child is spending in front of TV or computer monitors. Place the sheet in a convenient location — near the TV, by the computer or on the refrigerator — for easy access. This tracker may provide you with helpful information before you make a PACT with your child about his or her media use.
