My kids have an 18yo sitter who doesn't have a phone or social media.

My kids have an 18yo sitter who doesn't have a phone or social media.
She just got on Instagram, at almost 19yo.

Spoilers: She is my kids' favorite (and ours too).
Probably because she isn't constantly distracted.

She acknowledges that it was VERY frustrating as a teenager, BUT also witnessed her friends become doom-scrolling zombies.

Within the last year, she says she has become increasingly grateful for her parents commitment.

Q: How much is our kids' mental health worth?

I think most of us will surrender too quickly.
I'm nervous I will too when the time comes (oldest is 8yo).

Booking dinner with her parents is now my primary objective.

Titania Jordan How common is this?
Are these parents outliers?
Is this a growing trend?
