Why parents should sign and what happens when they do?
By signing this pledge, you commit to delaying smartphone access for your child until they are at least 14 years old. You can still provide a basic phone for calls and texts while adhering to the pledge, as these devices avoid many of the distractions and risks associated with smartphones.
The pledge activates when 5 families from your child’s grade sign the pledge. Upon activation, Unplugged Canada will notify you of the pledge’s activation and share a list of family surnames who have signed so you can connect.
This network of like-minded families offers mutual support and reinforces your commitment.
Remember, there’s strength in numbers!
