We are building a community that is thoughtful about our collective use of technology.

We are building our community. Join Maine parents/caregivers/teachers/community members interested in ending the phone-based childhood and decreasing the time our kids spend on screens.

Navigating the digital age of parenting is no easy feat. We're all trying to figure this out, and none of us have all the answers. 

Maybe you've given your child a smartphone and you're curious about exploring other solutions.

Maybe you're feeling pressured to give them one, even though your gut says otherwise. Or maybe you're just not sure what to do.

Wherever you are on this journey, you have a place in our alliance.

You won't have to feel alone in grappling with these issues, like you're failing no matter what decision you make, or like you're constantly policing your kids. 

Together, we can navigate this complex landscape with grace and understanding.
