It’s not as good as therapy, but it’s a start.
See, the thing is if you take a kids phone away you need to do something else with them to replace that time and habit.
Drugs and alcohol enters the chat
Exactly.
The phone is part of the cause, and removing it is only part of the solution.
I mean, if I had kids they sure as hell wouldnt have any google or apple device and no access to anything Meta. A 15 year old laptop with Linux (commodore OS would be pretty sick as a kid, I’d have LOVED it) with either none or very limited internet access. No Tok, no fb, no insta.
Or, some books. Do kids read anymore?
I know, I’d be the greatest parent of all time, but thats not gonna happen 🙃
Note on the book : You have to let THEM chose what to read based on the genre and plot.
Otherwise it’s equivalent to someone else making you watch stereotypical tiktok stuff.
Personal tastes differ.
Sounds reasonable except that kids will notice the technology around them and start questioning you and using the technology in your back; so you have to teach them with lower doses…
