The Social Media Decision Worksheet

For the question the signup screen doesn't ask: is this kid, right now, ready?

What's inside:
Readiness, not just a birthday Signs your kid is prepared, drawn from APA guidance — and the three situations the AAP says are reasons to wait regardless of age.
What happens after they sign up The four settings worth checking in the first week, before the account settles into whatever it defaulted to.
Conversation starters Four questions to ask out loud, one at a time — with room to write down the answer you didn't expect.

The Social Media Decision Worksheet

For the question the signup screen doesn't ask: is this kid, right now, ready?

  • Signs of readiness, per the APA
  • Reasons to wait, per the AAP
  • The four settings to check in week one
  • Four conversation starters
  • Space to write down what you decided
    Who This Is For

    Anyone who has four seconds to answer a question they've been avoiding for two years.

    This is for the parent who got asked in the kitchen and said "we'll talk about it later" — and meant it, and then didn't. It's also for the two parents who need to agree with each other before they answer, and would rather do that on paper than in front of the kid.

    You don't need a position on social media to use it. You need about fifteen minutes and a pen.

    The birthday on the signup screen is a legal footnote.

    Whether this kid, right now, is ready — that's the actual decision, and it's the one nobody hands you a form for. This is the form.
