Light Phone
The Distraction-Free, Minimalist Phone for Present Parenting
Mindful parenting starts with putting down your smartphone and being honest with yourself about how much of your attention it steals. When it comes to trying to be present as a parent, there’s no bigger time-waster today than infinite scroll.
A smarter choice than a smartphone.
Less Screen, More Connection
As we learn more about how important it is for children to stay away from touchscreens at a young age — and to keep usage to a bare minimum as they grow older — part of the solution is recognizing how much our own habits affect our children. Small children crave eye contact and play, and many of us know how absorbing phones and tablets can be — even for us.
(A helpful rule of thumb: zero screen time under age 3, no personal device until a child can confidently read and write, and no smartphone under at least 14 [”] – preferably 16 [”].)
If you’re ready to lead by example, there are truly thoughtful options available:
Presenting; Light Phone III
A modern phone that is not a smartphone.
The Best Phone for Mindful Parents
One of our absolute favorite parent-phones is the Light Phone III. While the Light Phone II — a simpler Light Phone without camera — is excellent for both teens and adults, the Light Phone III is a fantastic choice for parents who want to be reachable, but fully present with their family.
In short; the Light Phone is a modern phone that is not a smartphone.
Mindful parenting starts with putting down your smartphone and being honest with yourself about how much of your attention it steals.
Designed for Parenting Without Distractions
The Light Phone III allows you to text, call, get directions, listen to music and podcasts, and take photos — but it gently helps you stay away from work emails at odd hours, doomscrolling in bed, or checking social media apps that offer little value. It does this in the most effective way possible: by not offering those features at all. The hardware design has solved the problem for you.
As great for dads as it is for moms.
