<p>Two things:<p>1. Set the example and model positive behavior. 
- Stop using social media. If they see you doom scrolling they are going to doom scroll. 
- Stop playing mmo or games that require subscriptions or have egregious monetization. 
-I'm sure you have other skill you can teach them that don't require an internet connection, and if you don't, you can show them how to use the internet for educational purposes instead of watching idiots on social media.<p>2. Monitor and correct. Your kids are going want the same apps their friends have. Monitor their usage so you can help them get the street smarts. A lot of the apps have privacy settings so you will need to get familiar with them. iOS and android both have tools to limit the amount of time they can use the app for as well.<p>Unfortunately this takes a lot of time and effort on your part. Try your best and good luck.</p>

<p>I gave several very specific examples of why people should NOT move to Texas.<p>And I don't agree that democrats are the only ones doing this. Visit some firearms\guns message boards if you need some examples of conservatives encouraging other conservatives to move to make sure those dang demonrats dont take our guns.</p>

<p>1. I'm not sure my original comment was "encouraging mass migration"<p>2. People are free to move anywhere they like for any reason<p>3. If people from Connecticut can move here and change our politics, I see no problem with others moving here to change it back.<p>4. If corrupt politicians can rig the game in their favor, getting more legitimate voters <i>might</i> be the only ethical way to counteract such brazen attacks on our republic<p>5. This isn't the "gotcha" you think it is</p>

<p>> what could possibly compel you to encourage people of a certain political persuasion to move to a specific region so as to topple the existing, different-than-yours, popular political persuasion<p>My daughters' human rights as women supersede the misogynist wishes of Texas politicians<p>> why can't you and everyone that agrees with you politically find another state to take your political values to<p>I was raised to stand and fight for my rights. I don't need carpetbagging coastal elites like the Bushes telling me what texans want.<p>> what makes you think that your perspective on how things should be should matter more than the millions of people already living there, such that your ideal worldview should replace the existing popular one in a specific state, via interstate mass migration?<p>Texas has more democrats than republicans. My views align with the majority. Texas republicans are so terrified of democrats winning, they made it illegal to vote straight party line on ballots.<p>So I feel pretty god damn good telling people about the problems in this state and how they can be fixed.</p>
