I would like to say as encouragement for other parents of teens and older “kids”. No matter what choices your kids make when they’re grown it’s still worth it to opt out while they’re young!! You can do it all “right” by opting out of technology and still have kids who choose completely the opposite lifestyle when they’re grown. I know from personal experience. However, I wouldn’t trade all the years we had of not including cell phones and television in our lives. My kids learned how to have adventures, read books, chase dreams, all without the aid of technology, no matter what decisions they make regarding tech now, I’m still thankful we opted out for most of their childhood. 😊

I can really relate to your example about relying on GPS. When I (b. 1962) was a teen, we had no smart phones or (affordable) GPS, and just used written directions. I left "breadcrumbs" naturally and always felt like I knew how to backtrack if needed -- I had a sense of where I was in a new place. I got to the point that I could often take a shortcut, without help or having been there, just by being aware of my surroundings. That has faded almost completely. At least once, when my phone died, I realized how I had no sense of where I was, not like my teen years.
