I have children, including a teen, and they have phones.

One thing I do notice is that they’re quite a lot better at putting the phone away when they’re with friends doing stuff or at family dinners than their grandparents who keeps checking notifications and answering calls regardless of when and where.

They grew up with phones and they have a much better understanding of when it’s socially acceptable to use it.

They know not use the phone during class, so there’s really no good reason to ban it entirely.
