I’ve actively been told off at work on multiple occasions for putting too much effort into making my code reusable and extendable later down the line
(As of recently I’ve had to rewrite an entire project from last year because I gave up and just wrote a big blob of difficult to maintain code, then unsurprisingly the requirements changed)
There’s a solution nobody has mentioned yet, which is using an iMessage bridge application (allowing you to message iPhone users over iMessage). If you have a machine running MacOS, I just started using one called OpenBubbles that works great and, unlike other bridges (AirMessage or BlueBubbles), doesn’t require you to spin up and run a Mac as a server.
Alternatively, iOS 18 drops this month and has support for RCS, as some have mentioned. This is assuming you use Google Messages…
I found blocking things is full on, time consuming and never really works effectively enough. There’s always a way to see things that you want to see and if its forbidden, the curiosity is stronger.
Preference is approaching conversation with the kid(s). Take some time to watch things with them. The kid needs to learn critical thinking using logic and reasoning. Teaching these skills, and to not take everything at face value is probably where I would direct my energies. Wish I had better advice, but harbouring good debate without getting too emotional/personal is a skill worth learning.
If you are interested in open street maps, then you might want to check out the StreetComplete app. It will give you various quests to complete and achievements to unlock.
