HOW TO GET STARTED
ONE. SIGN THE WAIT UNTIL 8TH PLEDGE
TWO. READ THE ANXIOUS GENERATION BY JONATHAN HAIDT
THREE. LOOK INTO SMARTPHONE ALTERNATIVES
FOUR. IF YOUR CHILD HAS A DEVICE: IMPLEMENT THE '3-B RULE' (no devices in bedrooms, bathrooms, or basements)
-
WHY SIGN THE WAIT UNTIL 8TH PLEDGE?
- To create a support network of like-minded families.
- You can have access to names of your child's peers to have proof "they aren't the only one without a smartphone."
- Together we can help empower each other to "help kids be kids a little longer."
NOTE: The pledge is for smartphones only. Many other non smartphones exist. Click here for more.
