    That’s awesome! Signing the pledge is just a way to formalize your commitment and show your support for the cause. It’s a simple step that contributes to a larger effort to make delaying smartphones the norm.

  5. Will signing the pledge really make an impact?

    Yes! The more families that sign the pledge, the stronger the movement becomes. It raises awareness, encourages others to join, and puts pressure on schools and communities to support healthier tech habits.

  6. Can I still make a difference without signing the pledge?

    Absolutely! But signing helps track the progress and amplify the message. It shows that there is a large group of people who are serious about making a change, which can lead to more resources and support for the cause.
