- 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.
