flag A community in Ireland delayed kids' smartphone use, improving mental health and relationships.

flag In Greystones, Ireland, a community-wide effort called "It Takes a Village" has successfully delayed children's smartphone use, fostering better academic performance, stronger friendships, and closer family ties. flag Families and schools collectively agreed to postpone phone access, reducing pressure on parents and helping kids develop healthier relationships with technology. flag Older students lead workshops warning younger peers about social media risks, including addictive apps and harmful online content. flag Educators and parents report fewer conflicts, improved mental well-being, and increased engagement in outdoor activities and face-to-face interactions. flag The initiative, now nearly three years old, demonstrates how coordinated community action can promote digital well-being and offer lessons for U.S. communities facing similar challenges.
