YouTube's CEO limits his kids' social media use – other tech bosses do the same

Just throw it out of the window. I'm not going to give my 6y son access to a smart phone until he is much older, ideally when he is in senior high school. The only issue is that his future friends may not have the same idea, so it's going to be extremely difficult when he grows older. Fortunately we have a mobile ban in the school, so at least they know this is not a good thing.

Third grade and it’s already happening: My kid has already had trouble in his social circle at school because we made him cut back his Roblox time by a lot. It’s not even that anyone plays at school, but supposedly almost all the boys (and many girls) are playing after school.

What do you plan to do? Mine is in preschool but it's just a few years away...I feel pretty desperate.

Find some other activities. Tee-ball, soccer, swimming, cub scouts, anything that involves interacting with other kids without technology.
