What if I told you this has little to do with phones, but rather the dynamic between parent and child?

What if I told you most parents don’t care what their (teen/young adult) children want, but instead care about what they want for said children?
What if I told you that what parents want for their children isn't necessarily what's best for said children?
What if I told you there is no scenario, at all, in which the best thing for any child is a smart phone, or a social media app, or the internet on any device?
What if I told you that nobody is under any obligation to consider such an extreme opinion, without even an attempt at factual support?
