It’s teaching them what’s good to consume or not and how tell the difference by themselves that’s important. Teching them how to think basically. So parenting. Not watching them, not spying on them asking “why that site”. Parental control filters only work for so long, but they help. My experience using parental control however to limit screen time only taught our kid to absolutely maximize whatever screentime she had. So kind of addicted. But, pretty good at telling what’s toxic.

“Well if you are going to do drugs, I’d rather you do them in my house,” says the cool mom who only wants her kid to drink (Meta use) at home.

Lol what terrible research. “No! The parents have no control over their children. None! Please ignore all of human history.”

“Compulsive” desire to socialize in just about the only place left for teens to do so (for now)

Who knew: watching your child doing meth will still get them hooked on doing meta. (Not sure why autocorrect changes it to meta but I’m leaving it)
