I've heard "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" so many times about smartphones and social media. But of course you can.
What should you do if you've already given your child a smartphone or social media account, and you regret it? . As a parent, when you have new information, you can change your family's policies. Here's how, from Andrea Davis, of Better Screen Time:.

My next book will be out Sept. 2! It features 10 clear rules to help parents introduce kids to tech only when they are ready -- and make sure it doesn't take over their lives. It's based on the research and what I've learned as the mother of 3 teens.

Not true -- this study measured screentime at 10 years old, and mental health at 14 years old. So it doesn't tell us anything about teen screentime and mental health. Screentime at 14 is very different than screentime at 10.
The biggest risk to young people's mental health is not screentime. It’s addictive behavior. 4-year study: The warning sign of serious issues isn’t hours on devices, but whether kids struggle to control their usage. We should worry less about time than distress and compulsion.
