No, I'm just trying to empathise with busy parents rather than write off parents who struggle with this stuff as lazy.

I know some parents give their children devices for safety reasons. For others, I guess they don't want their children to be socially isolated if all the other 14 year olds are chatting on messenger.

My only point was that it can be hard, and that not everyone who fails at it is lazy. It sounds like we are mostly in agreement.

Oh yeah I get that. My point was more that there is a simple solution that requires almost no time investment (i.e. a good option for busy parents). It might not be for everyone but it’s a solution that is to easily dismissed very often.
