You’ll have to excuse the obscenities. It is Louis C.K. after all.
But he has some excellent points. We have already established the no-devices-at-the-table rule, but I like the no-smartphones-for-the-children rule. It will be a bit harder to enforce but worth it. Children need to learn to be with themselves. They need to be bored. They need to have human interaction and I believe that the smartphone takes away many of those opportunities.
This is going to be one difficult road to keep smartphones away from my children (and until what age?!?) but if Louis C.K. can do it, then so can I!
