Operation Landline by Unplugged Canada
Unplugged Canada has launched a new resource called Operation Landline, designed to help families reconnect kids with safe, healthy communication, without the pressures and distractions of smartphones. The initiative encourages families to bring back the family landline as a simple way for children to build independence, strengthen social skills and stay connected with friends and neighbours in a safer, more intentional way.
Created in partnership with the Institute of Child Psychology, the complete guide includes practical tips for setting up modern landline options, teaching phone safety and etiquette, and even creating a family phonebook together. Families are also invited to sign the Unplugged Canada pledge to help create a new community norm around delaying smartphones and supporting connected childhoods.
