The initiative “Smartphone Free Childhood” is an international, parent‑led movement that advocates for significantly delaying children’s access to smartphones and social media – ideally until around the age of 14.

Instead of each family facing the individual pressure of “everyone else already has one”, families support one another, make voluntary parent agreements, and build local networks where parents can exchange ideas, offer mutual support, and act together in relation to schools and policymakers.

In this way, a cultural shift begins: children are to have more time again for free play, real‑life encounters, and healthy development away from manipulative algorithms – a childhood shaped by relationships and real experiences, not by screens.
