Hello, amazing parents! We’re excited to have you join SFC's voluntary, parent-led initiative, aimed at pressing pause on smartphones and giving our kids back their childhood.
The evidence is clear, something needs to change, and it starts with all of us.
Join thousands of parents across South Africa who have committed to delay smartphones until high school.
We've worked hard to ensure your personal information stays safe. Check out our privacy statement here.
Let's get started! ⚡
We need this info to connect you with the right group of parents so you can press pause together - plus your kids won't feel like the odd one out!
TIP: Select your province (or "Online" under province), and type into the School dropdown to filter the options. If you cannot find your school, please email info@sfc-sa.co.za.
Please note: Grade R = Grade 0, and Pre-Gr R = GR 00
Only your child’s first name and surname initial/s will be shared, with the other participating families from their grade.
Acting in my child's and their classmates' best interests, I commit to wait until my child is in high school before giving them a smartphone.
Your information will never be shared publicly and your commitment will remain confidential until 10 parents from your grade have committed with you. The pact is not legally binding.
Would you like updates on any developments on this initiative, new evidence and resources related to pressing pause on smartphones for kids?
