Good recommendations! "...don’t allow smart phones to be sold to children under the age of 16"??? Sure, like it's the phones that are causing the trouble and we need "phone control". (Are the children even the ones buying them?)

But YES -- the failures of the PARENTS to teach and protect their children is causal. Not the stupid phones. But it is a multigenerational problem where the parents were not raised to be good parents, one that reaches back for generations.

Indeed, and it is getting worse with every generation. The last 100 years has been abysmal in terms of producing healthy parents, which is why I've created a parenting program -- to help people REMEMBER what it means and what it takes to be a quality parent. https://birthofanewearth.com/2023/10/birth-of-a-new-earth-parenting-program/
