A flip-book for family conversations about smartphones

Built around two contrasting possibilities, this flip-style book considers what families might face when a child gets a smartphone early and what delaying access could make possible. Its children’s-story format is intended to open discussion about when and why to introduce a phone, as well as how parents can prepare children beforehand. The source describes the book as rooted in biblical wisdom and emphasizes parental modeling of technology habits. The paired perspectives make the timing decision—not smartphone use in general—the organizing question.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents considering when to introduce a smartphone to a child
  • Families seeking a story-based prompt for conversations about technology
  • Christian households interested in a biblically framed parenting resource

Book overview

Two stories. One powerful choice.

Flip the book. Flip your perspective.

From Steve and Sara Otey of Engage Family Ministries, Suppose You Give a Kid a Smartphone is a one-of-a-kind, flip-style book that invites families to rethink when is the right time to receive a smartphone.

On one side, Suppose You Give a Kid a Smartphone explores what can happen when a child receives a phone too soon. It's not meant to frighten-but to reflect the real challenges today's families face in a digital world.

Flip the book over to read Suppose You WAIT to Give a Kid a Smartphone, a hopeful vision of what is possible when parents choose courage over convenience. Inspired by Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation, this story imagines what life could look like when families delay smartphone use.

Designed as a conversation tool in the style of a children's story, this book helps families discuss when and why to introduce smartphones, and how to prepare kids' hearts before they ever hold one in their hands.

Rooted in biblical wisdom, Suppose You Give a Kid a Smartphone encourages parents to model healthy technology habits and to trust the Lord with every parenting decision.

Choose wisely. Choose time. Choose hope.
