I'm happy keeping my kids away from tablets for now. They have a little screen time (TV) in the evening but the rest of the day is play and activities.
Do they come to any conclusions about how to go about this issue?

Yes, making a pact with other parents. All kids of the group will only get their smartphone until age x. Jonathan Haidt thinks this only works well with 10 other kids of the same age. It's pretty hard to pull.

Have you read his book? They mentioned "crypto" a couple of times and it sounds like he takes a negative stance.

Is it tough to do, when there's other kids?
My son had a birthday party he had put a lot of work and planning into. About half the kids there were on their phones the whole time. This was at least 7 or so years ago, I believe now it would be worse.
