I think a good middle ground might be to ban smartphones but not phones entirely. If you want your kid to be able to call you, buy them a nokia or something without internet capabilities

I mean the real reason is that parents are almost as bad as their kids with their phones. They have become accustomed to texting their children throughout the day.

Wow, that is eye opening. I can't imagine how bad helicopter parents can be these days....
