Puzzle is now officially a representative of the Disconnect Movement.
The movement’s purpose is to unite families and schools to provide guidance and support in helping children live screen-free — both at home and in school environments.
Key Topics of Discussion
Smartphones reduce attention span, harm mental health, and expose our children to a world of things they shouldn’t — and neurologically or emotionally aren’t mature enough — to deal with.
We all know smartphones are addictive. For children, they can interfere with everything that’s good: playing outdoors, spending time with friends, reading, talking, and laughing.
Of course, technology is part of today’s world, and children need to learn how to use it. But they are not yet ready to have a healthy relationship with something that causes dependency. It’s already hard enough for us adults.
There are alternatives: many parents want direct contact with their children for safety reasons — but that doesn’t have to be through a smartphone. There are “dumbphones” and smartwatches designed for that.
Tobacco companies once advertised their products as healthy — we believe smartphones will be viewed the same way in the future.
Movies are regulated, video games are regulated — now smartphones and social media also need to be.
