OTOH being able to ride off into the bush with your mates and build tree houses and whatever and "be home when the street lights come on", have no phone, &c. was very different to the world we brought our kids up in.
That's true but it doesn't have to be different. I know that in some countries (e.g. US) that's not often possible due to enforcement but that's not the case in other regions.
So, if you can, be the change you want to see in the world. Although videogames and screens are a big culprit too, in my opinion.
