WE HAVE A CHOICE

The solution is clear: Become tech-intentional™.

Being tech-intentional™ means prioritizing relationships over screens. We use screens to serve relationships and never replace them. We protect our values. We model intentional technology use. We nurture our children. We resist screen use that interferes with healthy development. We advocate for evidence-based teaching and learning. We work together towards collective change.

Less is more.

Reduce screentime to create space for real-world experiences, deeper learning, and essential development.

Later is better.

Delay personal device introduction to allow children to build foundational cognitive, social, and emotional skills naturally.

Relationships and skills before screens.

Prioritize genuine human connection and vital life skills; technology should enhance these fundamentals, never replace them.
