Why does the screen rule hold all week and fall apart on Saturday? Because most families have a rule for school nights and nothing at all for the weekend. Kids Screen Time Planner writes the whole week down, including the days that usually get improvised, so the answer is on paper instead of being negotiated every time.
Short answer: Kids Screen Time Planner is a free EizTools tool that builds a written screen time plan for a household. Set the timeframe, detail level and priority focus, and it returns a plan covering weekdays, weekends and holidays.
What is Kids Screen Time Planner?
Kids Screen Time Planner turns your household rules into a written plan. It covers how long, when, on what, and what has to happen first. It also covers the awkward parts most rules skip: homework on a laptop, video calls with grandparents, and whether a film on a Sunday counts.
Why Rules Break At The Weekend
Weekday rules are easy because the day is already full. Saturday is empty, everyone is tired, and one hour quietly becomes four. That is not a discipline problem. It is a planning gap.
The second gap is the type of screen. Two hours of homework on a laptop is not the same as two hours of short videos, and a plan that counts them identically stops making sense to a child fairly quickly.
How Does Kids Screen Time Planner Work?
- Describe the household in the prompt box: ages, devices, school schedule and what already causes arguments.
- Choose a model from the list at the top of the page.
- Open the advanced options and set Timeframe, Detail Level, Priority Focus and Format.
- Press generate and read what comes back underneath.
- Download it as HTML to print, and put it where the devices actually live.
Plans stack under the result as you go, so a term time version and a holiday version can be built one after the other and compared.
Timeframe And Priority Focus
| Day type | What the plan should say |
|---|---|
| School night | A short window after homework, finishing well before bed |
| Weekend | A named block rather than an open afternoon, plus one screen free stretch |
| School holidays | Longer, but tied to being outside or seeing friends first |
| Illness or rain | An agreed exception, written down so it is not a precedent |
Set Timeframe to Week for the everyday plan and rerun with Month before a long holiday. Priority Focus on Well-being tilts the plan towards sleep and outdoor time, while Balance keeps it even handed. Detail Level at Standard is enough, since a very detailed plan reads as a legal document to a twelve year old.
Agree it before you print it A plan announced at the door of a bedroom rarely survives the week. Talk it through first, let older children argue two points, and change one of them if the case is fair.
Reviewing Every Few Weeks
Set the finish, not the start
Screens off an hour before bed does more for sleep than any total. Put that in the plan first.
Separate the types
Homework, calls and games are different things. Counting them as one number makes the rule feel unfair.
Review, do not tighten
When a plan slips, look at which slot fails. Adding restrictions everywhere usually loses the whole agreement.
EizTools costs nothing to use and asks for no details. Tools are grouped by category, each with settings of its own, and plans come back ready to print from the HTML download. Once the plan settles what happens before screens, such as homework or chores, the Task Assistant turns those conditions into a daily list.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much screen time is right for a child?
There is no single number, and guidance differs by country and age. Most advice focuses on sleep, activity and what the screen replaces rather than a fixed limit.
Does homework count?
Most families keep schoolwork separate and count entertainment only. Decide it once, write it into the plan, and the argument stops happening nightly.
What about different ages in one house?
Give every age in the prompt and ask for a plan with a row per child. Older children accept different limits when the reason is written down.
How do I handle holidays?
Run a second plan with Timeframe set to Month. Holiday rules that are planned in advance work far better than daily negotiation in August.
Screen time arguments are rarely about screens. They are about a rule that changes depending on how tired everyone is. Writing the week down, weekends included, removes most of that and leaves the few decisions that genuinely need making. Draft your household version in Kids Screen Time Planner and talk it through before it goes on the wall.
