Why don't we just teach children how to practice moderation? Unless as a punishment, I think it makes more sense to simply guide them as to when phone use is appropriate or excessive and make sure to be stern with those standards. This is not a new problem, it's pretty similar to the generation before us dealing with kids who stayed in all day playing video games. Sure, the kid will do whatever they want once they're out of your sight, but at the end of the day they'll insert your lessons into the category of "behaviors that adults expect me to embrace" and the individual child will react accordingly.
