The Four Norms Roadmap for Collective Action

These 4 collective impact aligned organizations each represent one foundational norm and one action that you can take today. When we all do these collectively, we will flip the cultural norms from Technology first to Childhood first. It’s time to reclaim childhood in the real world. Your path starts here.

Delay Smartphone until at least High School

Pledge to wait until at least the end of 8th grade to give your child a smartphone with the Wait Until 8th Pledge (activates your school community as well).

Delay Social Media until at least 16

Join local groups of like-minded parents to connect, view family resources and discover ways to be more Tech Intentional by joining the SmartphoneFreeChildhood US community.

Phone-Free Schools

Tell your school you want to go phone free during the school day with the Phone Free Schools Movement pledge.

More Independence, Free Play, and Responsibility in the Real World

There’s something kids love more than phones: Free play and independence. Jonathan Haidt co-founded Let Grow to help schools and parents get kids back to playing, exploring, and doing things in the real world.

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

That’s what the #FourNormsChallenge does. 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.
