Absolutely anything to coddle the mind. Without the exposure, children will never be able to build resilience to these ideas. You can see the effects of this type of parenting today in the students who can't handle ideas they don't like. I can't seriously believe that folks want to make it illegal for parents to parent any other way.

I guess you didn't read my other reply. You can balance the rights and interests of both parents and kids by narrowing the proposal.

There's plenty of precedent. I'm allowed to give my kids alcohol, but you're not. Something similar could make sense for social media below a certain age.
