Every talk sparks change. Parents connect, the message spreads, and momentum builds. Once around 25% of families sign the Parent Pact, schools reach the Breakthrough Point – when the peer pressure lifts and being smartphone-free starts to feel completely normal.

Because when you stand up and start the conversation, you’re not just helping your school community – you’re helping to change what childhood looks like for a generation.
