Sounds a wee bit crazy, but I am serious. Now, I am not fully justifying his reasonings, but I also will not sit here and say I was a golden child. However,,, With how often my phone was taken away as a Kid, I really think it helped me become less dependent on it. I typically leave my phone at home if I am out being social (and my boyfriend brings his, you know, for emergency). During those times, it helped me gain other hobbies of the internet, like offline games on consoles, drawing, painting, writing, hell anything creative, I was trying to figure out a way to do it. That has helped me gain more interest in continuing that instead of doom-scrolling. So, in a way, thanks dad!
