High School Senior and Miss Teen Simpsonville Volunteer, Katelyn Moore, spoke about the growing “Wait Until 8th” movement, which encourages parents to delay giving smartphones to their children until at least eighth grade. The initiative began in Texas with the goal of having groups of at least ten families pledge to keep their elementary-aged children phone-free, thereby helping to reduce the peer pressure that often surrounds smartphone use among young students.
For more information, you can contact Katelyn at [email protected] or visit waituntil8th.org to make a pledge.

The Wait Until 8th pledge empowers parents to rally together to delay giving children a smartphone until the end of 8th grade.
