   Privacy & Personal Information

   Include

   What we share, what we keep private, and what we never give out — names, addresses, schools, locations.

   Strangers, Friends, and Online Relationships

   Include

   How we handle people we meet online and the difference between an online connection and a real-life friend.

   Photos, Videos, and Our Image

   Include

   Who can take photos and videos of us, who can post them, and what we do if a picture ends up somewhere we didn't expect.

6. Article 6

   Bullying — Witnessing It, Stopping It, Reporting It

   Include

   What we do when we see someone being treated badly online — including ourselves.

   We don't pile on. If we see bullying, we don't laugh, share, or look away — we step in safely and tell a parent. If we are the target, we know we can come to each other and we won't be in trouble for telling.

   Inappropriate Content

   Include

   What we do when something we didn't expect to see — scary, sexual, or violent — shows up on a screen.

   If we accidentally see something that scares or confuses us online, we close it and tell a parent. We won't be in trouble for what we saw — we get to talk it through together.

   Apps, Games, and What's Allowed

   Include

   How new apps and games come into our home, and the conversation that happens before they get installed.

   Before downloading a new app or game, we talk about it together. We check the age rating, what it does, and whether it has chat features. The answer can be yes — but it's a together-decision.

9. Article 9

   Mistakes & Forgiveness — No Punishment for Honesty

   Include

   Our promise that telling the truth is always safer than hiding.

   If something goes wrong online — a mistake, a regretted post, a conversation that turned scary — we come to each other right away. Telling the truth is never punished. Hiding it is the only thing that gets us in trouble.

10. Article 10

    Family Check-Ins & Updating Our Constitution

    Include

    How often we re-read this together and how it changes as we grow.

    We sit down together every [month/quarter/season] to read this through. Anyone in the family can ask to update an article. Kids' ages, new platforms, and life changes mean this is a living document, not a one-time signing.
