Minimize Tech - Maximize Happiness

At American Prep, we're always striving to innovate and improve the lives of our students. In July 2023, we launched our "Minimize Tech, Maximize Happiness" initiative to help students refocus their attention on what truly matters: their studies, friendships, and personal growth. 📚🤝✨

By January 2024, Governor Cox echoed our efforts with a letter urging schools to limit cell phone use, reinforcing the importance of distraction-free environments for kids.

Nearly two years later, our campaign remains strong, supported by compelling research showing how excessive device use can negatively affect young minds. Click here to view the Sapiens Labs report.

The Minimize Tech / Maximize Happiness campaign's purpose is to encourage parents and students to commit to no smartphone/smart device ownership until after high school.

 

Why? We cannot ignore the harmful effects of smart devices on children's well-being. Studies unequivocally link early smartphone/device exposure to decreased happiness! We support parents who prioritize their children's happiness by choosing to delay smart device ownership until after high school.

 

Sapien Labs provides an in-depth study that we recommend to all parents. This study supports our belief that smartphones should not be given to children. The report sheds light on the profound effects of early smartphone ownership on the mental health of young adults.  Click here to view the Sapiens Labs report.

Then, please join our Facebook Group - Minimize Tech-Maximize Happiness, where we will share ideas with each other on how to navigate the world without smart devices for our children!
