    They can live their childhood as they should do, focus on their learning and enjoy the real world without having to spend their life scrolling, which we all know is not good for them

    Older people forget that the norm of childhood has changed. And assume that children should do the same things they did instead of learning how to moderate what they do

        Exactly! Much easier just making something as “evil” than actually solving the issues around.

        Children shouldn’t be using their cells that much, but this is not solved by restricting access to it. It is solved by making communities and spaces child-safe and interesting for them.

            We used to use the “no ball games” sign as a target. Eventually it fell off the wall.

            Usually some busy body police support community officer person, or some other individual in a yellow fluorescent jacket and no actual authority would turn up and yell at us, but we just wait until they went away.
