“Wait until 8th” Renewing the Catholic Family Speaker Series

Brooke Shannon, executive director and founder of Wait Until 8th, will be the speaker. Brooke works with parents and children across the country to help them establish a healthy relationship with technology. She is a nationally recognized speaker on how to parent in the digital arena.

“The Wait Until 8th pledge empowers parents to rally together to delay giving children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. Let’s protect the elementary and middle school years from the distractions and the dangers of a smartphone. Banding together helps decrease the pressure to have a phone at an early age. Ten years old is the average age children get their first smartphone. You can change this!”
