Tools and sheets attached to this chapter
The sources behind these tools and sheets, by publisher
Nurturing care for early childhood development
WHO, UNICEF, World Bank.Backs support for the caregiver as a component of care in its own right, not an extra. A policy framework for services. It does not tell one household who should do what.
World Health Organization.Background on programs that support parents and the parent-child relationship. Naming a responsible adult and a fallback is this planner's own choice. Written for program designers. Nothing in it evaluates a family or scores a division of work.
Digital Ecosystems, Children, and Adolescents
American Academy of Pediatrics.Backs starting from uses and needs instead of a universal timer.
Guidelines on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep for children under 5 years of age
World Health Organization.This WHO recommendation concerns children under five. It does not set a screen-time limit for older children. It does not validate this household plan.
Online privacy checklist for parents
UNICEF.Backs the privacy and contact sections of the plan.
General Comment No. 25 (2021) on children's rights in relation to the digital environment
UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.Why parental controls have to be explained to the child and reviewed.
Media and Information Literacy and Misinformation
UNESCO.Background on checking whether a claim can be verified and documenting how it was checked. A teaching curriculum. It is not evidence that ten minutes at a kitchen table changes anything.
Field study on lateral reading
Journal of Educational Psychology.Backs reading laterally rather than staying on the page that made the claim. One field study, one population. Nothing here says the exercise works, only that somebody looked once.
Meta-analysis of media literacy interventions
Communication Research.Backs media literacy work having a measurable effect on average. A pooled average across very different interventions. It does not carry over to this exercise specifically.
Guidance on AI and children (version 3.0)
UNICEF Innocenti.Background on what protecting children's data and privacy asks of governments and of the companies that build AI. Writing down what the household has agreed is this plan's own adaptation. Policy guidance for institutions. It contains no household rule and no age threshold.
