I think there’s evidence that the ostracism from not being with peers (on phones, etc,) is worse than whatever benefit is gained by waiting until later.

I feel like it can’t be harmful for a parent to limit how much time they can spend on a phone though, but maybe I’m out of touch.

Parents should be involved in their kids lives enough to look at some things together with them on the phone but IDK how much people have time for that…
