It’s a lady talking about raising her three sons without smartphones until 16 and without social media until 18. Do kids in America commonly end up having personal smartphones before 16? She talks about how one of her sons had to scan a QR code for schoolwork. He is some age younger than 16 so I find that a bit insane.

    I am on the train of “I don’t want my children to be ostracized for not appearing normal,” so I’d likely get some child locked Android for them at an early age. Chatting with friends is whatever, but I would restrict social media use. Obviously they can always go behind your back, but I’m hoping I can make it uncool enough for them to avoid that.
