RE: [BrainDump] How to deal with smartphone addicition, especially with kids!
Good comparison with a digital swiss army knife, we use our phones in so many ways.
With kids it's very complicated, my teenagers are a bit younger (12 and 13) and I don't want to invade their privacy too much but I do want to keep them safe, talking is indeed my solution as well and hoping I teached them enough about the dangers, it's also important for them to be able to make mistakes.
I'm not even having a big phone addiction, more of a PC addiction due to splinterlands and everything around it, like you I decided to change that when it got too much 👍😁

Smartphones are very useful only some of the apps are too addicting.
You're totally right. It can be difficult to find the right balance between safety and their privacy. I've experienced that when they grow older they get more privacy and freedom because they are smarter and have a better idea on how the world works.
Although they still think they know everything better 😂
Indeed, the time spend behind a laptop or PC can also become a lot. But you don't carry it everywhere and you really have to power it on first to use it. That makes the threshold to use a laptop or PC higher.
