By January 2024, Governor Cox echoed our efforts with a letter urging schools to limit cell phone use, reinforcing the importance of distraction-free environments for kids.

Nearly two years later, our campaign remains strong, supported by compelling research showing how excessive device use can negatively affect young minds.听

The听Minimize Tech / Maximize Happiness听campaign鈥檚 purpose is to encourage parents and students to commit to no smartphone/smart device ownership until after high school.

听

Why?听We cannot ignore the harmful effects of smart devices on children鈥檚 well-being. Studies unequivocally link early smartphone/device exposure to decreased happiness! We support parents who prioritize their children鈥檚 happiness by choosing to delay smart device ownership until after high school.

听

Sapien Labs听provides an in-depth study that we recommend to all parents. This study supports our belief that smartphones should not be given to children. The report sheds light on the profound effects of early smartphone ownership on the mental health of young adults.听听
