Every family is navigating phones, games, and screens in their own way, and nobody has it all figured out. We gather, judgment-free, to share what's working, learn from research and from each other, and make the load a little lighter. The research points in some clear directions, and we're glad to share them.
Whatever choices your family has made so far, you're welcome here. We're all figuring this out as we go.
We stay close to the research and share what it shows, gently and honestly, so families can make informed choices.
Tech decisions are easier when neighbors make them together. A shared norm beats a solo battle every time.
We're planning a series of gatherings for the coming school year. There are already wonderful events and resources in our area. Rather than repeat what others do well, we'll focus on filling the gaps with programming families are asking for, and we'll keep our community posted on what other great organizations are offering.
Parents and caregivers around a living room or library table, talking honestly about what's hard and what's helping. Where the coalition began, and still the heart of it.
Next gathering: September 2026, details TBCPractical sessions on topics families ask about most, from device settings and family controls to what current research says about screens and development.

Browse the resources pageThese come up at nearly every gathering. We point to the research, share what other families have tried, and give you our honest read.
Our At School page walks through which questions to ask the district, what information families are entitled to, and concrete ways to make your voice heard.
Our workshops offer practical, hands-on help with parental controls, content filters, and family settings that actually hold up in daily life.
This is the coalition's heartbeat. Come to a gathering, join the coalition, and find neighbors navigating the same choices, so neither you nor your child has to do this alone.
Honest answer: it's hard, especially when work keeps us on our phones and computers all day. Families trade realistic strategies for showing kids what intentional use looks like.
Join the coalition to hear about gatherings and workshops, or just come to the next one and see if it's for you. Every family is welcome, wherever you are on this.
