 as a dad, how are you gonna approach the phase when your kid's gonna eventually want to have their own phone?

happy to hear it's all going so well 🤗 
 I expect by the time she is in age to make such an ask understanding how bad screens are, particularly phones, will be so common that she'll be able to self-limit without looking like a total weirdo.

we'll see, one thing I've learned about parenting (and life) is that you mostly don't need to get ahead of yourself trying to fix problems that have not occurred and might never do. 
 that last part is incredibly well put

really love the approach you're taking

best of luck 🤗 
 thank you, sir

also nostr... hopefully by the time she is older we'll have all destroyed the eyeball brokers and addiction won't be so normal! 😀
