Jonathan Haidt

What do you think?

And if they agree, then what you can do is you can say, we're taking back the smartphone.

Here's a flip phone or a light phone or something else.

You'll get a smartphone when you're in high school.

You can still do a lot of the same stuff on a computer.

You still have a laptop or something.

So it's not as though you're not going to be able to do these things, but we don't think you should have this with you all the time everywhere.

And your three best friends, their families are also doing it.

And what we really want is not to take stuff away from what we really want is for you to have a fantastic childhood.

We want you guys to have fun.

So so we're going to start off by saying every Friday you guys get together, have a sleepover.

We'll give you money to go places.

We want you to be with your friends in the real world.

And the more you give them the opportunity to hang out and do things.

I think now it's not deprivation.

It's not doors closing.

It's doors opening.

What they're most afraid of is being alone, being cut off.

So avoid that.

So when your kids are infants and toddlers, they are copying you.
