Dreading the first phone? You're in the right place.
Child in Year 5, 6 or 7 and "everyone else has one"?
You know it's coming. When to do it, which phone, how to set it up so it's actually safe, how to hand it over without a fight.
Raised Ready is a community of UK parents doing that handover deliberately, and everything after it, to the front door at 18.
I'm Rich Bowdler.
Years inside the Smartphone Free Childhood movement, ran the campaign at my kids' school in Hitchin, writing the book on the Year 6 to 7 jump.
