    My nephew has a new baby. Her parents are constantly waving their phones in her face; sending pics back and forth; generally doing ‘millenial things’ with their phones when not actively attending the baby. Then proceed to get all freaked out when the baby expresses interest or curiosity in the phone.

    Kids mimic their parents behavior and interests. If you want kids with healthy internet use, you have to have parents model healthy internet use.
