Parent Pact

By signing the voluntary parent pact, you are taking an important step toward a smartphone-free environment for your child. You are sending a clear message that you are part of a growing community of families who consciously choose to protect their children by committing to:

to wait until their child is at least 14 years old before they receive their own smartphone

and/or

to wait until their child is at least 16 years old before allowing them to create their own social media accounts.

Signing the voluntary pact takes less than a minute. The more parents who join, the stronger the nationwide signal for our children's well-being becomes. The pact is not a statement against technology, but against the early use of personal devices by children and teenagers.

The pact connects people through their children's schools. As soon as someone from the same school signs the pact, everyone receives an email. With every additional signature, the network grows. This creates local, cross-age communities for a smartphone-free environment for children, as well as smartphone-free schools. 

Together, we can stand up to the peer pressure facing our children and us parents!

Notes:
1. The pact must be signed individually for each child.
2. We handle exceptions (moving, repeating a grade, etc.) manually. In such cases, please email
alexandra@smartphonefreiekindheit.ch
3. Data privacy: We only collect the data that is strictly necessary. This is used exclusively for the parents' pact and (if you wish) the newsletter. Data is only shared for the purpose of networking.

Together we are stronger
