Donāt give your child a phone
or social media until they can prove theyāre ready.
Your childās mental health and safety are on the line.
It's notĀ about age - itās about readiness.
āI didnāt want my daughter to have a phone. The ReadinessĀ Check made it clear she isnāt ready - and now SHE gets it. It wasnāt me saying no. It was the truth saying no.ā

Parents hire coaches for everything that matters.
š Swim coaches for safety
š¶ Music and dance teachers for skill
ā½ Sports coaches for growth
š Tutors and SAT prep for academics
Start with the Phone or Social Media Readiness Check
āI canāt dribble a basketball, solve advanced math, or play piano - thatās why I hire coaches. And I definitely canāt keep up with technologyā¦ so why not get a coach for that too?ā
- Parent of a 5th grader
Most kids are not ready for the side effects of phones and social media.
- š Depression and anxiety fueled by endless scrolling
- š„ Being left out of group chats or online trends
- šÆļø Bullying and drama that follows them everywhere
- š Sleep disruption from late-night alerts and messages
- šŖ Comparison and FOMO that eat away at confidence
- šØ Exposure to predators, scams, and harmful content
These arenāt small problems. Ā Theyāre life-shaping ones. Ā
āMy son is 14 and completely obsessed with his phone. I wish the ReadinessĀ Check and Digital Prep Academy had existed earlier - maybe then he wouldnāt be so anxious, distracted, and shut off from us. I would have done anything to prevent this.ā

āWhen my 8-year-old realized she couldnāt complete the course, she told me herself she wasnāt ready and she knew why.
I never imagined my child could be at peace with waiting until this program made it clear.ā
š If your child cannot or will not complete the course, they are not ready.
š If they cannot demonstrate readiness at the end, they will know they are not ready.

š± The responsibility doesnāt fall on you - it sits firmly on their shoulders.
Donāt throw them in unprepared.
You wouldnāt let them dive into the deep end before swimming lessons.Ā You wouldnāt hand over car keys without driverās ed.

Itās the first time Iāve seen him take responsibility without me nagging.ā
