Smartphones are highly addictive devices that have a significant impact on our children’s mental health by:

  • Reducing attention spans and academic performance
  • Reducing the quality and quantity of sleep
  • Exposing children and young people to harmful content
  • Discouraging traditional play and interaction

The results of a huge study have shown that the younger children are when they are given their first smartphone, the greater the negative impact on their mental health and well-being as a young adult, showed that the younger they got their first smartphone, the worse their mental health is today.

We want to offer a compassionate non judgemental approach and encourage parents to support each-other to hold off on giving their children phones: reducing peer pressure, increasing parent power and giving young people the best chance of thriving.

  • "...The children acted maturely, sensitively and with great interest, which was a reflection of the way that the presenters dealt with the subject matter.

  • "...Would you mind please passing on my thanks for the videos – my husband and I have used some of the strategies and they work so well! I can’t believe how much I get out of our son when we play the games suggested - It’s given us such an understanding of his world. Many thanks for organising this… the videos have made such a difference to us as a family..."

  • "...I found our session with The Conversation very fun and I most enjoyed the art with Tony because we were learning that people have different races and that we have to all be ok with it because we are not all the same. We learned all about Protected Characteristics and that we all have them and that it is ok to have them...."

  • "...Hugely valuable - I have a book full of notes, now I just need to put them into practice. I think this approach of working directly with parents is a great way of getting your message out there and supporting kids. We can then reinforce what organisations like yours and teachers are communicating to them..."
