Many experts around the world say smartphones pose a danger to children’s mental health, but does a ban work?

    Out of curiosity, (given that in another comment you talked about home schooling) when you call yourself an educator, do you have a teaching certificate in your state, or other professional teaching certification?

    I’m not trying to be rude, but since you began by invoking the title of “educator” as an appeal to authority in this area, I think it’s important to clarify that you are in fact such.

      I’m certified to teach in my jurisdiction. I have a teaching degree, and I have completed additional professional training specific to this topic through conferences, books, and other professional development (PD).

      I can’t source conference talks or teacher PD groups, so I sourced a popular press book that’s approachable to laymen.
