We, the undersigned parents and caregivers, commit to working together to delay our children's use of smartphones and social media. We recognize that childhood is too short and too precious to hand over to screens too early.

Delay smartphones until at least High School Our kids may use basic phones (talk & text only), landlines or limited-function devices if needed.

Delay social media until at least High School We'll actively avoid platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, etc., until our children are emotionally ready.

Wait on Generative AI technology until proper safeguards exist - We'll avoid giving our children unsupervised access to AI chatbots, voice assistants, and AI-powered apps until age-appropriate regulations, protections and transparency are in place.

Support each other We'll talk openly with other families and share concerns, ideas, and resources. We won't pressure or shame any family—we're all doing the best we can.

Create a healthy tech culture We'll encourage no-phone playdates, screen-free sleepovers, and real-world fun. We'll support our schools in reducing personal device use during the day.

Model balanced tech use ourselves We commit to being mindful of our own tech habits and modeling what we hope to see in our kids.
