Section 1
The big idea
Asking for more screen time or AI freedom usually fails when you whine. AI can help you draft an actual proposal — with tradeoffs you can offer — that adults take seriously.
How to use it
- Ask AI to draft a 1-page screen-time proposal with tradeoffs
- Ask AI to suggest 3 things you'd give up for 1 thing you want
- Ask AI to format it like a contract both sides can sign
- Ask AI to remind you to follow through, not just sign
Try it
Pick one screen-time rule you want changed. Ask AI to draft a 1-page proposal with real tradeoffs and present it tonight.

Section 3
The big idea
Most teens lose the screen-time fight because they argue emotionally. AI can help you build a one-page proposal that treats your parents like the adults they are.
Some examples
- Prompt Claude: 'Build a one-page screen-time agreement my parents will say yes to'
- Ask ChatGPT for the AAP's actual recommendations by age
- Have AI suggest tradeoffs (chores done = 30 extra mins)
- Use Claude to draft the 'review in 30 days' clause that gets buy-in
Try it!
Draft a one-page screen-time agreement with Claude tonight. Hand it to your parent at breakfast. Ask for a 10-minute discussion.
