Does it has anything to do with smartphones though?
It looks like it is simply a case of caring for your kids. Smartphones are an easy solution for parents, give them one and it keep your kid occupied while you are doing your stuff. Having your kids "socially connected" typically involve getting them into clubs and the like. For hiking, they probably need someone to get them to the hiking place and at a younger age, accompany them. Even more complicated now that leaving your kids live their live outside without constant physical supervision is more and more frowned upon.

- tlear 3y agoKids learn A LOT from being left alone, if them being left alone results in TikTok daily binge.. well it is time to do something about that. Parents can not supervise their kids 24/7 they need some time to themselves and making a living. The "frowned upon" part is why you really need to be picky about where you live. Having kids spend time with friends roaming the neighbourhood without morons calling cops or child services is a priceless benefit to them.
