  There’s a story that therapists use all the time. Kid sees a butterfly trying to break out of its cocoon. Kid tries to help the butterfly get free, but when it gets out the insect can’t fly. the parent explains that the butterfly needs the struggle to build up its muscles.

  All smartphones do for kids is teach them how not to deal with other people.

  And yes, I am aware of the irony here.
