This is a terrific article, Marco. You are SPOT ON about how parents can solve the terrible problem we're facing with kids and phones/social media. Exactly!! Great list of sources, too. Enjoyed the read. And thanks again for commenting on my piece, "More Than They Can Handle" https://raisingamericans.substack.com/p/more-than-they-can-handle
of course children get around it. Literally "been there, done that" myself, as everybody else who is adult today.
That's why the ONLY solution that can work is to have no "it" to get around parents for. If the only way a child can access the internet is a traditional computer that is only available at home outside his own room, and is impossible to use outside the home, the problem becomes 100 times smaller, 100 times easier to deal with.
Agreed!!

Children get around parental controls. Technology's shortcomings and unpredictable nature continues.
