Why this matters

Three things we know.

01
Growing brains need time
The prefrontal cortex — impulse control, knowing when to stop — is still under construction. Expecting 10-year-olds to self-regulate against billion-dollar algorithms isn't fair to them.
02
Early social media hurts
The U.S. Surgeon General's 2023 advisory directly links early social media use to anxiety and body image issues in adolescents.
03
Boredom is the point
Less screen time means more of what actually builds kids — 9–11 hours of sleep, outdoor play, real-world connection, and the boredom that sparks creativity.
