Oh, I agree it’s definitely a good thing but it’s also good for kids to be without it as well and learn how to be bored. Because one day the battery will die or they’ll need to sit through something boring and not able to whip out their phone out.

I struggled quite a bit missed in college to pay attention without just getting my phone or phone out and zoning out (which I’m not convinced may have been from undiagnosed ADD or something similar, but I still needed to learn to keep my attention on something less exciting)
