      I remember wanting some nike shoes because of social pressure and my mom was like: no, lol.
      I somehow survived it just fine.

        You didn’t get traumatized by not being able to have what ever you wanted? You should write a book about it!

        And every single kid will be fine , this parents nowadays want the government to do all their job. If you dont want your kid with a phone , dont buy him a phone. Punish them and teach them to read a book or go outside to play.

      It’s amazing that you’re such an illuminated parent, and no doubt a blessed human being who doesn’t suffer social pressure, but your point is meaningless/harmful as it ignores the reality that most humans and parents suffer from social pressure.
