Collective action gives parents a Technology off ramp they don’t have as an individual.

When we band together, we flip the cultural norms away from Technology first, and toward Childhood first.

  • We’re trapped in a system that everyone hates. Parents are struggling, teachers hate it, and our kids are suffering. Meanwhile Tech Companies are pulling in the most profits in the history of the market on the backs of our attention and engagement. The way out is to raise our voices together, through collective action. That’s what the #FourNormsChallenge does.

  • Parents deserve a voice into our cultural norms.. Our mission is 100,000 parents committing to the spirit of the Four Foundational Norms to reclaim childhood in the real world.

  • There are already amazing organizations tackling every segment of the Four Foundational Norms for Solving Collective Action Problems introduced by Jonathan Haidt in his groundbreaking book The Anxious Generation. We provide a path forward, making it easy to take those actions.
