Are your kids buying "dumb" phones and/or ditching social media? How about you?

I recently bought a brick (saw it advertised on TikTok ironically) which is a small plastic square that lives on my fridge- I can "brick” my phone either on the phone or by setting up scheduled times in advance to block certain apps. Then I have to walk over the fridge to unbrick it. I have all social media, email and safari set up to be bricked at certain times of day- now in the mornings if I open my phone still in bed I can’t waste time scrolling which was a bad habit I had. Before bed too :slight_smile: I have definitely found it helpful and am leaving my phone “bricked” a lot of the time now. I can’t imagine going back to a dumb phone - I use my phone for so many things, maps, audiobooks, news, fitness tracking etc.
