So all the kids nowadays are addicted to social media but their parents aren't

Imagine how fucked up the kids will be when their parents were also addicted to social media when they were younger

Then imagine how fucked up THEIR kids will be when their parents grew up thinking social media addiction was normal

    Yeah, hard to say. I don't have a cell phone, and focus on spending time with my kids in a variety of settings, but I'm just one influence in their lives. The complete integration of technology into every minute of the day can't be that great for your brain.

    There is an advantage is that nothing can really replicate the feeling of people in your life that you talk to and hug and they care about you and you care about them. I just try to expose them to that as often as possible and hope to win the dopamine turf battle.

    I guess I'd recommend that approach for anyone, just talk to kids, be empathetic, listen, and have fun.
