This is not clickbait, it’s like a movement with a catchy name so it sticks. You seem to be stuck with clickbait but at the same time you don’t understand what clickbait is.

Parent here. This is a LOT easier today than it was 5-10 years ago. It feels like there's been a generation divide where younger kids are not as insistent on smartphones as the older kids were. Maybe it was covid. But also there's a lot of negative sentiment even amongst kids about smartphones - that they are addictive, encourage anti-social behaviors, and enable bullying. "Brain-rot". Our local school district banne…

I am 38 years old. I attend concerts very frequently, and - though it’s uncommon - some shows don’t allow photos or videos, at the artist’s request. And it’s enforced by venue staff. Even as someone who enjoys taking videos at concerts, I really like the vibe at shows that have a no-photo/no-video policy. It increases audience engagement, and it stops the phenomenon where everyone has their phone held high in the air…

No worries that you deleted it, can understand that you want to be cautious with your child:) Btw, I actually don't have a child so haven't used parental controls, but just found out that they do have an app time-limit setting: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/set-up-screen-time-ip... . yeah, I have an app blocker on my iphone to block news websites/apps called Freedom. Essential these days to staying productiv…

I use the built in iOS controls for my kids and they are generally sufficient

Just took a look at the app limit features in parental controls, seems really useful:)

The difference is that I explained myself and gave an external source instead of just repeating the same claim over and over.

Why is texting friends bad? My daughter has autism, and struggles to connect with her classmates. She gets overwhelmed in groups, and is shy talking in person sometimes. Now that her classmates started messaging each other, she is actually being included a lot more. She has started messaging and setting up online play dates with her classmates. I was so proud when I found her playing Minecraft with a class mate while…

Your child is a special case. Speaking from experience, most kids get too sucked into the social aspect of phone use, to a detrimental degree. Group chats end up being the location of cyber bullying, for example.

If the “non-special cases” had parents that didn’t allow them to have iMessage, my daughter wouldn’t have anyone to FaceTime with.

Sure, and I'm sorry for that, but in general technology introduces severe social and learning challenges. Extreme enough to induce a measurable increase in teen suicides since the introduction of social media and mobile phones.

There were no smartphones when I was young and I got bullied a lot. Kids bully wherever they interact. It's not the tech that's the problem.

Right but the tech creates some new forms of bullying, and they're in addition to the traditional forms of bullying. All of which still presumably exist. For example, you can now bully people anonymously. And you can bully people at any hour of the day or night - not just in public, in the brief periods between classes. And with widespread camera phones you can not only make someone cry, you can video them crying, ke…

The fact that you can never escape the bullying is a huge differentiator from the before times, where coming home after school was a sanctuary (assuming you didn't come from an abusive household).

These days kids are 24/7 connected to what is going on in social media and group chats, and it never goes away.
