Letβs change the norm.
Delay smartphones and social media.
Unplugged Canada is a grassroots, parent-led movement helping kids thrive through meaningful connections and real-world experiences.
Weβre guided by Jonathan Haidtβs, four evidence-based principles. By delaying smartphones and social media, while promoting healthy digital habits, we give children the freedom to grow and flourish.
With local pledges to delay smartphones, practical resources to support digital literacy, and national advocacy calling for Canada to have a social media age minimum, weβre building momentum for cultural and systemic change.

Childhood is changing. Letβs protect it.
Unplugged brings families together by pledging delay smartphones until age 14 and shifting the cultureβtogether.
Social Media is fueling a youth mental health crisis. Weβre calling on the Canadian government to: Raise the social media age to 16. Sign our Call To Action to support.
