I second Chelsey - if there's any way to share more about these local efforts with those of us also in the local area I'd love to know more!

Right now it's a lot of informal "oh we won't be getting our daughter a phone for a long time" speaking up to make sure other parents know where we stand. Also the Chromebook learning I'm very curious about too - we also just rely on hearing from our oldest about what she does but our youngest (in K) isn't as forthcoming so it'd be good to know a bit more!
Our 8 year old does have a Gabb watch since she walks home from school by herself (and which has been helpful when we have let her bike alone around the neighborhood! We have never contacted her or her contacted us while she's out but I think it gave her a little extra confidence to have it. She had been begging to go out on her own and she's been zipping around during break and it's been great! So definitely let June go for it!)

I'll keep you looped in as things progress, and I'm sure I'll report more on it here, too! Love this neighborhood biking testimonial ❤️
