Hey parents, have you heard of Wait Until 8th?
The idea is to give kids more time to develop emotionally, socially, and mentally before dealing with the pressures and distractions that come with constant screen access.

#WaitUntil8th…did this with my oldest (who hated it though is a straight A student) and definitely doing this with my youngest (who is probably only kid in class without a phone, and I am fine with that).
Parents,
When you give your young kids phones, you are giving them the means with which to replace you with their peers.
Whatever worry you have that they’ll be the only ones without them or they’ll be ostracized for not having them is a sign that the role of peers in their life is already more important than you.
Reclaim your kids.

premature thinning of the cortex, which is the outermost layer of the brain that processes information from the five senses. Protect your children by delaying smartphones and tablets as long as possible!

@VorneDie #waituntil8th - hört sich unmenschlich bis unmöglich an, wäre aber ein fürsorglicher Ausweg.
Man müsste Schulleitungen dafür gewinnen oder auf Elternabend dafür werben - je mehr mitmachen, desto leichter fällt's.
Für's Telefonieren käme ja ein Steinzeit-Handy in Betracht ...
I signed this pledge when my kids were younger and then I gave in. I wish I had waited. What do you think about this? #medfieldps #smartphones #education #health #mentalhealth #schoolnurse #WaitUntil8th @s_grenham @nat_vaughn

@BMoreDefiant @SnydeNotSnarky @stclairashley The overwhelming evidence has shown that young people are targeted at a young age. Many parents are taking the expert advise to #WaitUntil8th to keep their children’s minds functioning freely outside of technology. And then, only under supervision.
“The question has flipped from when to get your kid a phone, to how do you make it so the introduction of the phone is in line with their development stage?” —Dave Anderson, PhD @childmindinst https://t.co/xqrAPjmLo1 #screentime #kidsscreentime #kidsphone #waituntil8th #adhd

I hope we can emulate what #WaitUntil8th has done in America here in the #UnitedKingdom for the sake of our #Children #OnlineSafety #DigitalFamilies22
Did you know that the average age a child receives a smartphone is 10? If you think that’s too young, check out #WaitUntil8th (8th grade that is). 📲 #smartphone #screentime
My youngest daughter turns 10 today.
Ten is the average age children receive a smartphone.
There is no phone for my love to unwrap today though. Snapchat, BeReal, TikTok and Instagram will have to wait too.

Watch #TheSocialDilemma and learn why some parents are delaying smartphones and social media for kids. 10 = avg age kids get smartphones & 11 = avg age kids are on social media. Parents, stop the madness. Delay! #waituntil8th at least!
One year ago, #TheSocialDilemma "went viral" with over 100M views.
Why? Because it confirmed how social media's design and business model nurtures addiction and warps our beliefs.
Yet the film was only available to Netflix subscribers— until now: https://t.co/NB9m9cvqK1
