You know how as a parent if you do something like read a book, your kid will imitate you?

Imagine majority of parents glued to a smartphone and their kid wants to imitate them. The parent allows it because they are addicted to the device and don't know how to cope / moderate it.

Kids are a reflection of their parents, if we ought to solve a problem, it should also be for internet addiction of the previous generation.

Every parent should simply read books at home to prevent dark patterns from hijacking the dopamine systems of their children?

That doesn't sound effective.
