The power of observation.
When I was growing up, my father would never stop talking about how important it is to notice what is going on around you and take charge.
He told us a story his lecturer told him when he was an undergraduate. I hope it is fiction btw

It was a class of science students. The lecturer told them that b4 the glucometer was invented the only way to assess glucose in urine was by licking some of it. He asked one of them to pee in a cup. Then he dipped a finger in and licked it. The cup was passed round and everyone
Had to do as he did.
Save for one guy at the back. He stood and said "I won't sir bc you dipped in your first finger and licked your middle finger!"
The lecturer shouted "That's the power of observation! Good man!"
The rest of the class ran outside gagging and retching.

Children younger than 16 do not need smartphones or access to social media in my humble opinion.
Get them laptops for school work & research.
Set up Google family link, Net Nanny or other protective soft ware.
Devices must be used in full view of everyone.

Babies as young as 5 are being exposed to online nudity.
I'm sure you want your child/ward not to lag behind other kids who have iphones. Banish the thought!
You are the one who is nervous about doing the right thing. You can deal with your need to keep up with the joneses

Without exposing those kids.
Send them to schools with policy of zero phones.
My kid's classmates created a WhatsApp group ostensibly for studying but since it was my no they used, I saw that no studying was going on. I deleted them.
If it was her phone, I would never know.

Every family needs a mission statement.
All the children should know it.
It should guide parenting decisions and frame conversations about identity.
One of the things my family aims for is to raise independent adults who are self-disciplined, brilliant and entrepreneurial.

To achieve this, I cannot do everything for my kids no matter how much I want to. The only way to develop self-discipline is to give children the opportunity to decide to do the right thing even when no one is watching.
I assign chores, make the older ones review homework

And teach them to be courteous to adults in my employ.
Sometimes, I would rather wash a dish myself. It would be faster and I would do a better job but I don't want to deny them the opportunity to improve.
Brilliance in my definition is to love knowledge. I set high standards
