Screen Time Behaviour Checklist

“Screen time” refers to time spent engaged in screen-based activities. Examples of “screen time”
include watching TV or DVDs; watching or using a smartphone, computer, or tablet; or playing video
games. Below is a list of common screen time-related child behaviours that parents often have to
manage. For each item: (1) select the number that best describes how much of a problem that
behaviour has been for you with your child, over the past four (4) weeks, and; (2) then, using the
scale provided, choose a number next to each item that best describes how confident you are that
you can successfully deal with your child’s behaviour, even if it is a behaviour that rarely occurs or
does not concern you.
Rate your confidence from 1 (Certain I can’t do it) to 10 (Certain I can do it).
