These companies fund both sides of the argument because it fuels division

Yep, that's what makes them so reprehensible...it's insidious.

I also agree with you that it's the parents job but most are so incapable (clueless) that it's not occurring...probably because many parents now grew up the same way they are raising their kid which is probably what has prompted the government's plan.

we are approaching the phone days

Yeah, and the kid is what...8?

There's a lot of problems but excuses are made to justify the behaviours and so it perpetuates.

Yeah he is, it's not imminent but my wife has tossed the idea around a time or two. I vehemently opposed it and won the skirmish for now and hope to keep it at bay until he's about 13 or so. There are a lot of ways in which it's important he grows up without those things as I know you're aware.

Thankfully there is a sizable group of parents who are pushing back and highly opposed to kids with phones and social media so it's a growing trend for families to do this. If all goes well we can keep part of that group for many more years but it's important to get prepared for these things now so we don't get blind sided.
