Manifesto

We believe the best experiences in life are almost always analog

We aren’t anti-technology. We simply want the right tech at the right time – and that’s often a lot later than the rest of the world. Why? Because pitting our amazing children against the world’s most brilliant software engineers isn’t fair or right.

We believe in the unique value of one, precious childhood

This means we will make hard tech decisions now. So, they can have a healthier later. Why? Because no parent ever regrets giving their child social media too late.

We believe in the power of human connection

Looking at each other. Smiling. A caring hug. Why? Because were literally designed for each other.

We believe in teaching our children how to use technology

This starts with us modeling limited and transparent use of our tech. Why? Because it’s tough being a parent in the digital age. But it’s even tougher being a kid.

We believe in starting fresh

Maybe we said “yes” a little too soon. If so, we’re going to lead with relationship, talk about the changes we want to make, and re-establish boundaries. Why? Because my kids are worth it.

And we will boldly and confidently speak about the decision we’ve made

This includes school leadership, other parents, or relatives. Advocating for change when needed. Why? Because many may hold similar beliefs but lack the courage to speak out.
