About this movement

Smartphone Free Childhood is one of the fastest-growing parental movements in the UK, with over 100,000 parents joining local WhatsApp groups to collectively delay smartphone access. Founded in 2024 by Daisy Greenwell and Clare Fernyhough, it provides community support for families choosing to resist peer pressure around early smartphone adoption. Families using Phosra can enforce the pledge at the device level — restricting app installs, social media, and web browsing across all connected devices until the child is ready.
