""We do limit their time on YouTube and other platforms and other forms of media. On weekdays we tend to be more strict, on weekends we tend to be less so. We're not perfect by any stretch,""
""everything in moderation""
""Let them have a flip phone, but remember, a smartphone isn't really a phone. They could make phone calls on it, but it's a multi-purpose device by which the world can get to your children,""
Neal Mohan limits his children's time on YouTube, other platforms, and other forms of media, with stricter rules on weekdays and looser rules on weekends. He and his wife follow "everything in moderation" and acknowledge imperfect enforcement. Mohan became YouTube CEO in 2023 and was named Time's 2025 CEO of the Year. He has three children: two sons and one daughter. Experts warn that excessive smartphone and social media use harms children and teenagers. Jonathan Haidt recommends no smartphones before age 14 and no social media before 16, suggesting flip phones as alternatives. Australia has barred users under 16 from major social platforms, with 77% public support but some rollout resistance.
