Thanks for sharing the Atlantic article, very interesting and confirms everything I suspected… phone are allowed at my son’s high school with not much regulation and it really isn’t great. Experimenting with a new at home system where so long as he does a certain amount of other stuff that he likes to do (running, birdwatching, walking the dog, reading, spending time with the family etc) he can, between sensible morning and evening limits, do what he likes. Working so far and a lot easier to monitor. Screentime is hardest part of being a parent - and a kid!
