Pennridge Unplugged is a grassroots group working toward more intentional technology use at home and in school. We connect families, share resources, and advocate for common-sense approaches to screens and devices in our kids' lives.
The research is clear — rising anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and lost childhood experiences are all linked to early and excessive screen use. And in classrooms, the overuse of devices is undermining focus, learning, and the teacher-student relationships our kids need.
But it's hard to push for change alone — whether that's setting boundaries at home when every other kid has a smartphone, or asking your school district to rethink how technology is used in the classroom.
That's why Pennridge Unplugged exists. We're stronger together. We're parents and community members advocating for more intentional technology use both at home and in our schools.
Join other Pennridge families in delaying smartphones, setting healthy screen boundaries, and taking the Wait Until 8th pledge.
Advocate for evidence-based technology policies to make sure kids are developing the skills they need to thrive in our rapidly evolving digital age.
Connect with like-minded families, stay informed, and show up as a united voice for our kids.
