I am Josette Calleja, a parent coach, a passionate executive, and wellness specialist. I am a strong supporter of Unplugged because I believe our children need a childhood filled with meaningful connections, outdoor adventures and genuine interactions. The things a cell phone cannot provide. In my practise, I often see children become so absorbed in screens, potentially hindering their development and connection to the world around them.

Research shows that spending time outdoors and engaging in real-world interactions significantly contributes to a child’s wellbeing, self esteem and overall development. Keeping our kids off the phone at this critical age will provide the opportunity to connect with nature, nurture their curiosity and build authentic relationships offline. Please join us in taking a stand for a cell phone-free childhood so our kids embrace a lifestyle that values genuine connections, imagination and healthy development. Let’s together make a difference in shaping a healthier future for the next generation.
