About

Founded in Concord, MA, Turning Life On is an expansion and extension of Concord Promise, a local, public support platform formed in 2017 that encourages parents to delay smartphones until at least 8th grade.

Through our experience with Concord Promise, we realize that parents outside of Concord are looking for support in their own communities. More importantly, we understand that children will eventually have smartphones and that the challenges of raising kids in a digital world are vast.

Turning Life On is a grass-roots movement that embraces digital wellness and promotes the human experience by uniting, informing and empowering parents, professionals and local communities. We believe in grassroots movements, focused on issues of importance to specific communities.

 

We are not anti-tech…

Technology is touching every aspect of our children’s lives from their relationships to their education and we are committed to teaching kids how to manage technology so it doesn’t manage them.

 

We did it when we first had our children: Baby playgroups and support groups from infant care to preparing for preschool abound. But when it comes to technology use, parents are often alone. Parents want to talk with each other about the challenges they’re facing and how they’re facing those challenges.

Parents need information to make healthy choices regarding how their kids are engaging with technology, including social media and online gaming. Parents and educators want to partner with professionals who can share information. Change will only happen if children and teens are involved in the conversation. Turning Life On brings all stakeholders together so they can discover the concerns, strategize and share ideas to improve these concerns, and implement healthier and more balanced technology use. We’ve been in this space since 2017, so we have to connections, wisdom and resources to make it happen!
