Parents across Europe are joining forces in movements like 'Adolescence Free of Mobile Phones' to keep smartphones out of schools and to prevent kids from having smartphones until they are older. From Spain to the UK, parents are concerned about the negative impact of smartphones on young children's safety and mental health, leading to bans in schools and calls to block social media access for those under 16. By creating chat groups and pledging not to buy smartphones for their kids, parents are working to shift the social norm surrounding smartphone use.
