hat Is “Wait Until 8th” — and Why Parents Choose It

Wait Until 8th is a parent‑led pledge that helps families delay giving their child a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. The goal isn’t to avoid technology, it’s to give kids more time to develop focus, social skills, and healthy habits before navigating smartphones and social media. The pledge works by building strength in numbers. When families in the same grade commit together, kids feel less pressure to be “the only one without a phone.”

Voluntary and family‑driven
Allows basic phones or smartwatches for calls/texts
Backed by growing research on child development and screen use

If this aligns with your family’s values, consider signing the pledge and waiting together with other parents in our community.
