A powerful new video from Smartphone Free Childhood
Got friends who are on the fence about kids and smartphones? This film is for them.
We’ve teamed up with Anish, a former Facebook engineer turned SFC advocate, to create our very first explainer video – a deep, eye-opening look at the dilemma facing today’s parents.
In 10 minutes that pack a punch, Anish unpacks how smartphones and social media are designed to keep kids hooked, the secret techniques tech companies use to pull them in, and the impossible choice this leaves parents facing.
But this isn’t just about the problem. It’s about the solution too.
