Phone Savvy

A unique, interactive program for families who want to prepare for phones together!

Social media, chat groups, internet access, selfies, screenshots, comparisons, FOMO — the online world is a complex space that can challenge even the strongest parent-child relationship.

Phone Savvy is a 1-month intensive family workshop designed to prepare mums, daughters & families for phones, before the phone arrive.

Many digital wellness programs educate parents or kids separately, but very few get parents and preteens working together and opening up conversations when it matters the most: in the preteen years.

Our girls are already curious about technology and eagerly anticipating the next step: phones and social media. They want to learn and have experiences online.

Parents, on the other hand, are often terrified at the prospect and feel they lack the resources to prepare their children for this complex world.

Fiona has designed this incredible workshop to help you and your daughter navigate this transition differently; with mindfulness and a sense of calm.

Over the course of one month, you will join other families—parents and preteens—to learn about preteen development, phones, digital wellness, and social media. In bite-sized sections designed for preteen minds, you will have fun learning and exploring each topic.

The goal is to help form healthy, empowering habits and mindsets that will last beyond our sessions.

What a gift to give your daughter at the moment of her development when she needs it the most.

There is a way to do this differently!

Having someone by your side in the preteens makes all the difference.

  • The best parenting course we have done. For your child’s mental health, do it!

  • Fiona is very passionate about the topic and has so much great information to share. Her enthusiasm is contagious and attending the workshop has certainly made me feel a lot more positive. I feel I now have a better idea how to begin the "I want a phone, mum" conversation!! It's also been great meeting the other parents as it's always nice to feel that I am not alone in my concerns, worries etc.

FAQs

Does that mean you advocate giving phones and social media to girls under 12?

We are big advocates for the delay of phones (and social media). A big part of the workshop involves developing a plan and family contract for the gradual introduction of different technology (ipads, phones and apps). Leaving the workshop you will be clearer on how that will look like for your family.

Are there refunds available?

A 7-day refund policy is available from the date of purchase. After that we will be all steam ahead to get your family tech ready!

In doubt? Organise a free 15 minute call with Fiona here.

My daughter is under 10. Is she too young?

We assess this an individual basis. If you are interested in signing up and your daughter is under 10 please send Fiona an email at fiona@motheringgirls.com and we can explore if it is a fit or not!

Is this just for mums or can spouses/partners come too?

Both parents are more than welcome, and in fact encouraged to join. Doing this course as a family opens up powerful conversations and helps you align your mindset, knowledge and skills.

Can I organize a private group with my daughter's friends and their mums?

Yes, 100%! There is a great benefit to helping your daughter and her peers learning the same tools before phones especially teaching them the same etiquette for their interactions on whatsapp and social media.

I am not in Valencia, can I do this online?

To date this program has been delivered in person, however Fiona is currently trialling an online format. If you have a group of friends who would like to do it online, please contact Fiona at fiona@motheringgirls.com
