How to use it
Choose the amount on each ticket, or change the words.
Print, cut out the tickets and decide how many your child gets each week.
Your child hands in a ticket to start screen time. When the tickets are gone, screens are done until the next week.
Questions parents ask
How many tickets should we give?
Start with the screen time your child already has, split into tickets. That way the tickets change how it’s tracked, not how much there is.
What happens to tickets that aren’t used?
Some families let a few roll over to the weekend, and others start fresh each Monday. Either works. Pick one and keep it the same.
Should I take tickets away for bad behavior?
Many families find the tickets work best as a planning tool rather than a punishment, so the rules stay simple and predictable.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
