Summary
Welcome to the “Everything Smartphone” Guided Toolkit!
At Axis, we believe that the decision to give your child a smartphone is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make, and one that will change both of your lives. This is why we’re passionate about helping to equip you to do so as well as possible.
This toolkit includes:
- Bible-based perspective on how we think about smartphones, safety, and digital limitations
- Perspectives from real teenagers on how they feel about their phones
- A free downloadable PDF (available at the bottom of this page) that includes a family smartphone charter, the 5Ws and the H of talking about smartphones, and our comprehensive plan to gradually increase your child’s level of freedom on their phone
- A practical how-to guide that explains how to make harmful content harder to access on iPhones
- A dozen essays and reported stories by writers like Hannah Anderson, Erin Loechner, Evan Barber, Hannah Lane, CJ Fant, Abby Perry, and many more.
The first half of this kit unpacks what’s at stake in the smartphone conversation for teens and families. The second half highlights what parents can do and are doing to help their teens navigate smartphones from a Christian point of view.
