"since the dawn of the social internet, parents have lacked adequate tools to parent teenagers (and children in general) in an online world" Yes, 100%!! From what I've seen, parents generally seem to be getting their sea legs with this tech. But there has definitely been a lot of wreckage along the way. Great article -- You have put into words a lot of my own musings on parenting in the tech age. I "hit bottom" with social media in 2020. Quitting Twitter started me on the road back to sanity. Never again!
