Wait Until 8th

You can say yes to waiting. By signing the optional pledge below, you promise not to give your child a smartphone or social media until at least 8th grade. Many children are spending between 6 and 9 hours a day on media. Childhood is changing, and the negative impact of so much screen time is hitting kids hard in their attention and wellness. Together we can create a screen-smart community. New research shows dependence on your smartphone may produce some of the same addictive brain responses as alcohol, drug and gambling addictions.
