Hey ,

You've probably been thinking about this question for months.

Your child is getting older. Their friends are starting to get phones. And you feel this quiet pressure building...as if the decision is being made for you whether you're ready or not.

You're not imagining it...and you're not wrong to hesitate.

Here's what I want you to know before anything else: you're not alone in this.

Researchers, pediatricians, and child development experts are reaching the same conclusion you've already reached intuitively. Schools across the country are banning smartphones from classrooms. Parent movements like Wait Until 8th are spreading because millions of families are waking up to the same reality you're facing.

The science is catching up to what you already felt was true...

Welcome to The First Smartphone Dilemma. Over the next nine days I'll send you five short emails. Each one builds on the last. By the end, my hope is that you'll have something more than conviction...you'll have a clear sense of what to actually do next.

In two days, I want to show you a different way to think about this decision...one that changes the question entirely.

Thanks for joining me on this journey!

Warmly,

Herman
