On Hold: Smartphones Can Wait

3/3/2025

0 Comments

 
Smartphones are everywhere, and children are getting them younger than ever. But what if waiting until 14 is the best decision you could make for your child’s well-being, safety, and development?

We are suggesting to all our families that they delay giving their child a smartphone until at least 14 years old. 

​Take a look at our presentation (click the video below).  Feel free to ask us questions!

Let’s start the conversation. Let’s take back childhood.
