Hey, Kids!
I bet you want a phone. Of course you do, it’s a rite of passage. But first you’ve got to prove a few things to us grown-ups. Fifty tasks that show you can function in this world past smashing thumbs on screens.
This is a field guide for growing up. Read it, work it, get better at life. That’s your assignment. Only then will you be granted that pre-teen holy grail: your own phone.
LET'S GOOOOO
LET'S GOOOOO
The Things You Have to Do Before I Buy You a Phone is a coming-of-age gauntlet for your kids to run before entering full-on digital life. They’ll learn how to cook a meal, wash their clothes, navigate streets, take care of people, and lots of other stuff. It’s a handbook that will make them more fearless, more creative, and more self-reliant. (Especially useful when the power goes out and the apps don’t work.)
