My 6yo uses one of our old phones for playing games and streaming. He has a level of addiction.
I’m not concerned though. Off the back of some parental settings, I believe he is learning how to use tech, getting exposed to pop culture, testing freedom and exploration, and will discover under his own steam all the junk, slop, and scamming that’s out there.
I believe this is a better approach than restricting altogether.
He still gets out and plays sports etc.
