The result is a personalized agreement that both parent and child can sign.
The First Phone Pact helps families establish boundaries around:
- Screen time limits and phone-free zones (like dinner time or bedrooms)
- Appropriate apps and content guidelines

Yes, The First Phone Pact is designed to be flexible and reflect your family's unique values, parenting style, and your child's maturity level. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to first phone usage.
Setting clear expectations upfront helps establish healthy digital habits from day one. However, if your child already has a phone, it's never too late to implement boundaries together.
It's never too late to establish healthier digital boundaries. While the pact is designed for first phone users, families with older children can adapt it to create clearer expectations and open dialogue around technology use at any age.
