My youngest brother (25 years younger) will start school in a couple years. So far my dad has done a good job at not making him an iPad baby.
Will the mental health benefits of not having a smartphone outweigh the detriments of being a total outcast in school where every kid has one?

perhaps share this overwhelmingly likely possibility with your dad, and suggest your brother (and your dad) might be happier going to a Montessori or Waldorf school

you can find stories shared by teachers about their experiences nowadays, and it is quite concerning.
