Parents confront significant uncertainties regarding when and how to give their children their first phone. The First Phone Pact offers a structured approach for families to establish guidelines regarding phone use. It consists of a questionnaire designed to address key considerations, such as screen time, privacy, and online behavior. According to child psychologist Dr. Jacqueline Nesi, establishing clear boundaries early fosters healthy digital habits. The pact serves as a platform for important discussions on technology usage between parents and children, providing both independence for kids and reassurance for parents.
"[The Pact] is the perfect opportunity to lay the groundwork for healthy digital habits in the future," says Dr. Nesi. "Having open, honest conversations and setting clear boundaries upfront goes a long way."
The First Phone Pact enables parents and kids to discuss guidelines for their first phone, addressing screen time, phone zones, online etiquette, and emergency contact protocols.
