That's no reason to design devices that enable this parent behaviour. We should move in the other direction. Shaming parents who overly rely on giving kids devices for adults can be somewhat effective.

I know there's no hard leverage.

So.. stop producing smartphones / tablets? TVs? What's your other option?

I'd like to hear more about the results you've gotten with this approach. How do you approach is this with your kids?

parents will do it anyways, so products that have child safety features are being developed

My only possible counterpoint in agreement is whataboutism. Companies make lots of devices designed for "negative" behavior.

Not an excuse but an explanation perhaps?
