As technology becomes increasingly integrated into family life, educators across South Africa are observing significant shifts in early childhood and primary school development—from fine motor challenges in Grade 0/R to social fragmentation
Help us raise funds to keep the fire in the heart of our movement burning! We are running an exciting raffle, and your support directly powers our mission to let kids be kids.
Join us for a deep dive with Emma Wijnberg, a seasoned Paediatric Occupational Therapist, as she reveals what she is seeing in her practice: • Physical: Why fine motor skills and core strength are declining. • Neurological: The "Dopamine Loop" and why kids are losing the ability to play independently, focus and motivate themselves. • Emotional: Why "delayed gratification" has become a struggle for this generation.
Sign up to be part of the movement and for the latest updates from our campaign.
We’re building a movement to protect childhood and teen mental health by delaying smartphones and social media access, encouraging smartphone-free schools, and promoting the mindful, intentional and safeguarded use of technology in education.
