I mean, my parents were immigrants who barely spoke English, so growing up in the US I didn't have anyone to actually talk to me and explain these things from a parental viewpoint.
I think having frank conversations with kids about how to manage screen time is good. I also see the point of setting digital restrictions as a means for safety. What I don't see the point of is spying on kids' screen activity and making them feel that their privacy isnt being respected.
My parents basically took the approach of all screen usage is bad and then left me unattended to navigate the 2010s internet all by myself as a kid. I didn't even have the option to talk to a parental figure about anything I was seeing/doing online.
