Phones are incredibly addictive to both adults and kids. They are very damaging to relationships and social development. It’s fascinating that you think the answer is “do better”. This is literally that. Why are you so in favor of giving children something they have no need for and something that causes enormous stress anxiety and harm?
Kids who are online have been shown to be much more anxious, more depressed and less socially adjusted vs kids who are in peer groups that are kept offline for as long as possible.

The studies on this topic are completely inconsistent and show conflicting information, with no clear correlation of harm. This is isn't exactly news: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/26/technology/kids-screen-time.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/26/technology/kids-screen-ti... https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/27/parents-of-successful-kids-dont-worry-about-screen-time-they-teach-these-skills-instead.html https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/27/parents-of-successful-kids-d... ultimately it depends on the child's psychology and the content that they consume. some kids should be parented to be steered away from social media. others have no problems. Lots of things are addicting. I'm addicted to coffee. So what? Life is about managing your emotions towards moderation. Offline pledges are about as effective as abstinence pledges.
