Dame Rachel de Souza, the children's commissioner for England, emphasizes the importance of parental guidance in managing children's smartphone usage. She argues that parents should reflect on their own phone behavior and recognize that making difficult decisions, even when children disagree, is crucial for their long-term well-being. The article cites a survey revealing that a significant number of children engage with internet-enabled devices for extended periods, highlighting the necessity for parents to facilitate open discussions about online content and its implications.
