About

We are largely guided by the five norms set forth by Jonathan Haidt, author of The Anxious Generation: 

(1) No smartphones before high school

(2) No social media until at least age 16

(3) Phone-free schools

(4) More independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world 

(5) Use educational technology carefully and intentionally

We are actively seeking steering committee members to join us for educational events, community outreach, organizational and government outreach, communications, and connecting with similar groups.
