LEAF the Screens Behind Fall Challenge

As the alarm clocks reset and back-to-school season kicks into gear, there’s a distinct energy in the air. Fresh starts, new routines, and a crisp new season. Fall runs for roughly 90 days. 13 weeks. About 1,350 waking hours between now and the holiday shift. It’s a vital window where habits take root, academic years are defined, and family rhythms get established. We get it: the back-to-school hustle is real, and screens are an easy default when life gets busy. But wouldn't it be a TOTAL BUMMER to let this season fly by in a blur of endless scrolling? That’s why, as school starts back up, The Tenafly Balance Project is calling on families to make this term count. Not by throwing away devices or going off-grid—but by building smart boundaries so we can actually show up for the moments that matter. From Friday night lights and family dinners to focused homework time and crisp weekend walks. Let’s not start this school year on autopilot. This fall, let’s make it count. MORE PRESENCE. LESS DISTRACTION. SIGN UP FOR THIS CAMPAIGN to get exclusive updates and enter for a chance to win! Look to the right of this message to sign up and get started. Please note that the system allows one child signup per email address. -->

The Tenafly Balance Project Family Pledge

We're pro-childhood. Research and real-life experience show that delaying social media improves focus and sleep, gives kids more time for creativity, reduces anxiety & depression, and fosters real-world friendships.
