We really need to accept that our kids childhoods aren't and cannot be like ours. Like sure, I grew up with no phone and no computer but that was 30 years ago!!!
Time moves on and it's unkind, yes--but you won't stop change.

phones are part of the lay of the land now and kids need to learn to interact with them. Banning social media, as prev. said, will not help because what are you gonna do when the kid turns 16? Kids need net literacy courses
Feels v much like people who don't want to accept the world has changed

Dems' "Project 2029" first major policy proposal: an online child safety plan — narrowing Sec. 230, banning social media for kids under 16, promoting phone-free childhoods and more. Already backed by Cory Booker, Mikie Sherrill, Randi Weingarten + Jonathan Haidt.

When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin.
"Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?"
"You want to be a seal?"
"No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?"
"My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."
