The Parent Talk Hub
[.style-intro]The Smartphone Free Childhood Parent-to-Parent Talk is one of the most powerful tools in our movement – a way for parents to open up calm, constructive conversations about smartphones at their schools. You don’t need to be an expert to use it – just a parent who cares[.style-intro]
Whether you’re chatting with a few friends over coffee, sharing at a PTA meeting, or speaking at a school event, this talk has your back. It walks through how we got to where we are today, and gently explores what we can do next – together.
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.
It’s also a powerful way to feel more connected. So many SFC parents tell us that sharing the talk has sparked unexpected friendships and a new sense of community at school. And if public speaking isn’t your thing, don’t worry – we’ve got plenty of tips and options to help you feel confident and supported.
You’re not alone in this – and your voice might just be the one that helps someone else feel less alone too.
