I don't them use my devices outside of school projects and keep them busy doing things outside the house.
I realize this is easier for me than most as my oldest is only 13, we homeschool, and we live in a very rural area with high community engagement. Meaning the social pressure to be online just isn't currently there.
Once they have a job and can buy their own devices they can do what they please. Hopefully, the disdainful tone I use when explaining social media companies to them fully sinks in by then.
Oh I have no doubts they'll give everything a whirl. There's a certain amount of suffering required before you start reconsidering lessons you had previously written off.
