How many times have you agreed the same rule with the same child in the same month? Spoken agreements fade fast, and each side remembers a different version. Kids Behavior Contract puts the agreement on paper, with what is expected, what happens when it is kept, and what happens when it is not.
Short answer: Kids Behavior Contract is a free EizTools tool that writes a written behaviour agreement between a parent and a child. Describe the behaviour and the terms, and it produces a document you can both read and sign.
What is Kids Behavior Contract?
Kids Behavior Contract produces a short written agreement covering one or two behaviours. Homework before screens, phone downstairs at nine, no shouting in an argument. It states the expectation, the reward for keeping it and the consequence for not, in language a child can read themselves.
Why Writing It Down Changes It
A written agreement moves the argument off the parent. When the rule is on paper and the child agreed to it, you are pointing at a document rather than issuing another instruction. That difference is most of the reason these work.
It also stops the terms drifting. Nobody can claim it was only weekdays, or that the consequence was never mentioned, because the sentence is there.
How Does Kids Behavior Contract Work?
Put the details in the prompt box: the child's age, the behaviour you are addressing, what you are offering, and what happens if it is not kept. Choose a model in the selector above the box, then expand the accordion before generating.
The agreement lands underneath with a word count on it. Download it as Word if you want to edit the wording together, or as HTML to print for the fridge. Earlier attempts remain listed below the result, so a stricter draft and a gentler one can be compared before either gets signed.
The Legal Panel, Read For Home Use
The advanced options here are the ones from a commercial contract tool, so most of them do not belong in a family agreement. Read them like this.
| Option | What to do with it at home |
|---|---|
| Duration | The only genuinely useful one. Six months is long for a child, so pick the shortest option and review sooner |
| Enforcement | With Cure Period is the family friendly choice, since it allows a chance to put things right |
| Jurisdiction and Governing Law | Leave both alone. They add legal wording that means nothing between a parent and a child |
| Include Signature Blocks | Turn this on. Signing it is a large part of why the agreement is taken seriously |
Turn off Include Force Majeure Clause and Include Governing Law Clause. Include Recitals is worth leaving on, since it opens the document with why the agreement exists, which children read more carefully than the rules.
Not a legal document This is a family agreement, whatever the option labels suggest. It has no legal standing, and it is not suitable for anything involving custody, school placements or formal behaviour plans agreed with a school.
Signing And Reviewing
- Read it aloud together before anyone signs, and change anything your child argues fairly against.
- Keep it to one page and two behaviours at most.
- Make the reward small and frequent rather than large and distant.
- Put a review date on it, and hold the review even when things are going well.
- Both parents sign, so the agreement does not sit with one of you.
Their words too
Let the child add one line asking something of you. An agreement that only runs one way rarely lasts a month.
Short terms
Two weeks feels achievable to a nine year old. Six months feels like a sentence, and gets abandoned by the second Friday.
Rewrite, do not scrap
When it stops working, agree a new version. Tearing it up teaches that written agreements are optional.
EizTools is free and needs no account. Tools sit in categories, each with settings for its own kind of writing, and any document you produce downloads as TXT, Word or HTML for printing. If you need an actual agreement with legal wording for something outside family life, the Contract Draft Generator is the tool built for that.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age do behaviour contracts suit?
Roughly seven and upwards, once a child can read the terms and understand a consequence attached to a choice. Younger children do better with a chart.
How many behaviours should one contract cover?
One or two. A contract listing six rules becomes a policy document, and children stop reading past the first line of it.
What if my child refuses to sign?
Ask what they would change. A refusal usually points at a term that feels unfair, and negotiating one clause is better than imposing all of them.
Does this replace advice from a professional?
No. For behaviour linked to a diagnosis, school support or anything you are worried about, speak to your GP, the school or a specialist first.
Behaviour agreements work because they are boring and specific, not because they are strict. One page, two expectations, a review date, and both names at the bottom. Write yours in Kids Behavior Contract, read it through together, and change whatever your child is right about.
