Introduction
Smartphones are a central part of student life, both in and out of school. This widespread device use can enhance learning, but it can also lead to distractions and potential overuse without clear boundaries. TRUCE Family on FileWave provides a collaborative solution for parents and schools, enabling them to set healthy and consistent digital boundaries that support learning goals while promoting responsible screen habits.
