Show Your Commitment

The Problem
Social media and smartphones are seriously damaging our children's overall development. You are allowing your child to be experimented on, to be used and exploited. Wake up, take the smartphones away and stop caving into social pressure. Do what you know is right for your child.
WE'RE NOT ANTI-TECH, WE'RE PRO-CHILDHOOD
Technology has immense benefits, and young people should be able to enjoy the opportunities it creates – when they're ready and when it's safe to do so. But childhood is precious and fleeting.
The Solution: Collective Action
It's hard to break away when "everyone is doing it." So we need to band together as parents who actually care about our kids. Enough is enough. Schools can create campaigns and invite parents to sign a commitment to keep their children smartphone-free.
Don't Agree
You disagree, don't sign and move on.
Already Committed
You are already against smartphones for your children. You sign and get a bumper sticker to spread awareness.
Waiting for 51%
You want your kids to be smartphone free, but don't want to be the minority. You sign, but it only becomes binding when 51% of parents at your school sign.
The Agreement
For children in Grade 9 or younger
Basic phones (dumb phones) or shared family devices are allowed
Agreement becomes binding only when 51% of parents sign
"Smart Families NOT Smartphones" - spread awareness and build solidarity
Note: Platforms such as YouTube, Roblox, Epic, and Steam are not full-fledged social media apps and are therefore exempt from the contract. Exceptions for medical needs (e.g., diabetes monitoring apps) can be approved.
Our Objectives
Support children's social skills, creativity, and emotional well-being
Protect from excessive screen time, cyberbullying, and harmful content
Unite parents to counteract peer pressure and foster shared values
Build visibility and normalize the shared commitment
