A summer house by the beach with no electricity does the job fine. That's our way of dealing with it. I feel that's more about being able to turn off now and then rather than banning. Learning to control the devices rather than the reverse. Talk about it with the kids, most likely they share the same concern as you and you can find a way forward together.
Not being able to resist is related to how well you resist drugs. So it's important to be aware of.

Our environment is changing far faster than we can adapt. It will be interesting to see the long-term impact. Iceland has used a data-driven approach to improve kids health.

- isodude 7y agoIn soceity there seems to exist a belief that the largest emergencies are "hard", like police, firemen etc. I want to see more about social "soft" emergencies where we focus more on the above. That is the reason for most "hard" emergencies. Hopefully someday. But the meetings where all this is decided does not have people focused mainly on "soft" problems.
