Donât give your child a phone
or social media until they can prove theyâre ready.
Your childâs mental health and safety are on the line.
It's not about age - itâs about readiness.
âI didnât want my daughter to have a phone. The Readiness Check made it clear she isnât ready - and now SHE gets it. It wasnât me saying no. It was the truth saying no.â
- Mom of a 10-year-old
Most kids are not ready for the side effects of phones and social media.
- đ Depression and anxiety fueled by endless scrolling
- đ„ Being left out of group chats or online trends
- đŻïž Bullying and drama that follows them everywhere
- đ Sleep disruption from late-night alerts and messages
- đȘ Comparison and FOMO that eat away at confidence
- đš Exposure to predators, scams, and harmful content
These arenât small problems. Â Theyâre life-shaping ones. Â
âMy son is 14 and completely obsessed with his phone. I wish the Readiness Check and Digital Prep Academy had existed earlier - maybe then he wouldnât be so anxious, distracted, and shut off from us. I would have done anything to prevent this.â

Demonstrate Readiness
Your child earns badges, proves growth, and shows theyâre ready for the responsibility of a phone or social media.
âWhen my 8-year-old realized she couldnât complete the course, she told me herself she wasnât ready and she knew why.
I never imagined my child could be at peace with waiting until this program made it clear.â
đ If your child cannot or will not complete the course, they are not ready.
đ If they cannot demonstrate readiness at the end, they will know they are not ready.
Â
đ± The responsibility doesnât fall on you - it sits firmly on their shoulders.
Donât throw them in unprepared.
You wouldnât let them dive into the deep end before swimming lessons. You wouldnât hand over car keys without driverâs ed.
Phones put both safety and emotional health at risk.

đĄïž Predators & strangers
-
đ Anxiety, depression, bullying
-
đȘ FOMO & comparison
-
đ Lost sleep and focus
Taking technology back later is nearly impossible. Itâs a road you donât want to go down. Â
âI work in the tech field and thought I had all the answers - but there was so much I didnât know, and even more I couldnât explain in a way my child would understand. Digital Prep Academy broke it down through stories and analogies that finally made it click for her in ways I never could.â

âI canât dribble a basketball, solve advanced math, or play piano - thatâs why I hire coaches. And I definitely canât keep up with technology⊠so why not get a coach for that too?â
- Parent of a 5th grader
Imagine your childâŠ

âMy son just started the course and I canât believe the difference already. Because he wants to earn that phone, heâs nicer to his sister, his room is âcleanerâ (not clean - small steps đ), and heâs actually more engaged with us. Itâs the first time Iâve seen him take responsibility without me nagging.â
