I’m a dad of four kids. I don’t yearn for the good old days, but I do wish social media companies were legally obliged to ensure kids are 16 before they let them into their platforms. There’s a tremendous amount of pressure to conform and it affects girls in particular. Most 14 year olds aren’t in my opinion mature enough to put a phone down when it starts to become a negative influence on them.
May I ask you a direct question: Are you raising teens? If so, what are your impressions of how they use their phones (for good and bad)?
If you’ve not raised kids during this decade, is it possible you may not have seen first hand what happens?
