The Migration Conversation Starter Pack: A Family Worksheet

When the UK blocks under-16s from social media in Spring 2027, the question every family will face isn't whether your child will keep socializing online — it's where.

This worksheet helps you have that conversation before the migration happens, instead of after.

It's not a lecture. It's not a contract. It's a structured space for one parent (or trusted adult or teacher), a young person, and the conversation that will quietly shape how the next decade of their digital life goes. It works whether your child is 9 or 16, whether they're already on social media or still years away from it.

What's inside:

• Before You Start — A four-point mindset check so the conversation actually goes somewhere
• Step 1 — Your Opening — A sample script (and space to rewrite it in your own voice)
• Step 2 — Listen First — Six questions to pick from, a "no yes-buts" rule you'll need, and room to take notes on what surprised you
• Step 3 — Their Migration Map — Where they think their generation will actually go when the platforms close
• Step 4 — The Trade-offs, Together — A two-column writing table for the pros and concerns of whichever space comes up
• Step 5 — Our Family Migration Agreement — A simple shared starting point with fillable date, decisions, and a "what we'll do if something feels off" line
• After the Conversation — A private reflection page just for you
• Adapt by Age — Specific guidance for elementary, middle, and high school

Who it's for:

• Parents and carers of children ages 8–18
• Teachers running a digital citizenship unit who want a take-home assignment families will actually finish
• Counselors and family therapists working on tech communication
• Anyone who's ever wished they'd asked their young person first, instead of after

What you get:

• 8-page formatted document 
• US Letter format, fully print-ready
• Visible handwriting rules, fillable boxes, and a sample script — designed for paper, but works digitally too
• Age-adapted prompts for elementary, middle, and high school
• Free to print, share, and reuse with attribution

You won't get this conversation perfect. Nobody does. The point isn't a flawless conversation — it's that you had one at all, and that your young person knows you'll have another. That's the thing that travels with them across every platform they end up on.
