Wait Until 8th says the earliest a child should have a smartphone is after they've completed the 8th grade.
Social scientist Jonathan Haidt ’s recent landmark book, “ The Anxious Generation: How the Rewriting of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness,” lays a strong foundation for delaying smartphone use.
Wait Until 8th is one of the first organizations to promote a healthy way for kids to adapt to technology while empowering parents to make it happen together.
60,000 parents in 50 states have pledged to wait until at least 8th grade to give their child a smartphone.
