One of the best things you can teach you children is to ignore social pressure.

Exactly , look what happens in the US some people fall for social pressure to have an iPhone because everyone use iMessage

I remember wanting some nike shoes because of social pressure and my mom was like: no, lol.
I somehow survived it just fine.

You didn't get traumatized by not being able to have what ever you wanted? You should write a book about it!

And every single kid will be fine , this parents nowadays want the government to do all their job. If you dont want your kid with a phone , dont buy him a phone. Punish them and teach them to read a book or go outside to play.

It's amazing that you're such an illuminated parent, and no doubt a blessed human being who doesn't suffer social pressure, but your point is meaningless/harmful as it ignores the reality that most humans and parents suffer from social pressure.

Therefore it's important to teach children to deal with it.
