The Raised Ready community
Do you have a child in Year 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9? The phone conversation has started. But the phone isn’t the final decision. It’s the first of many: the group chats, the games, social media, time allowances.
Get the first decision right and the rest get easier, because you’ve set how this works in your house.
Inside
- The Hand-Over Map: what age, what to say.
- First Phone Ready: choose it, set it up, hand it over, without a row.
- Monthly live calls with Rich Bowdler and guest experts.
- Parents one step ahead, saying what actually happened.
- The honest bit: what parental controls can’t do.
Run by Rich Bowdler, who has spent three years inside Smartphone Free Childhood and ran the campaign at his children’s school.
It’s free to join. The community will become paid later, but people who join now stay free for good.
Also free: the Year 6 Phone Decision Pack, four short pages to read and print. And if you’d like something to read away from the screen, there’s Raised Ready, the print magazine (Issue 1 is in the works).
The community runs on Skool, a separate service with its own terms and privacy policy; you’ll need a Skool account. Joining doesn’t sign you up to our magazine emails. For those, use the magazine waitlist.
