[quote=Anonymous]OP, agree with others to drop the social media. Look at some of Lisa Damour's guidance on this topic; she's a psychologist with expertise in adolescents and has written several fantastic books. She's very clear with parents that when not having a phone limits teens' ability to communicate with friends, that's a problem. She has a podcast episode about getting phones and how to manage it, with explicit discussion of what kinds of restrictions to implement. If your parents are willing to listen, she's very convincing. DH and I are 46 and 47, very aware of the dangers of social media, and also completely on board with this approach.[/quote]
