Let’s Talk Smartphones, Social Media & Our Kids

Brought to you by the Adam Beck School Council Mental Health & Well-Being Community

We’re excited to share an important initiative with our Adam Beck community: Unplugged Canada.

Unplugged Canada is a growing movement of parents who are coming together in school communities across the country to make it a norm to delay smartphones and social media until at least age 14.

How? By simply signing a pledge to wait.

The idea is simple but powerful: when more families make this choice together, we reduce the social pressure on kids, open up space for conversation, and shift the culture around early smartphone use and social media.

The pledge includes smartphones that provide access to social media apps.

It excludes smartwatches and iPads.

The best part? In just 72 hours, 40 Adam Beck families have already signed on! Let’s keep the momentum going.

If your child is in grade 4,5, or 6 we would love to see more pledges from you!

Together, we can support healthier habits, reduce stress, and give our kids more time to just be kids.
