It's a lady talking about raising her three sons without smartphones until 16 and without social media until 18. Do kids in America commonly end up having personal smartphones before 16? She talks about how one of her sons had to scan a QR code for schoolwork. He is some age younger than 16 so I find that a bit insane.

    Spent a few minutes trying to vet this substack and didn’t find any red flags but I get some sketchy vibes nonetheless.

    But yeah kids mostly have phones before 16. Hell toddlers usually have tablets so that YouTube for kids can babysit while mom prepares dinner. It’s a problem.
