This idea is certainly more rational than wanting the government to do your jobs but just going for a blanket ban for your children is still a sign of lazy parenting instead of actually monitoring and moderating your children's activity. Similar to a parent that would just ban video games for their child entirely instead of limiting the times they can play and after they've done their homework and gone outside.
Except that this just limits access for young children in the same way we have parental block, content ratings, age of consent laws and age restrictions on owning certain products like cigarettes, alcohol, and firearms. Honestly, it's not even parents fault. If ppl were decent and respectful human beings on social media, nearly all the problems disappear. Of course good luck with getting ppl and the whole internet to change or realize they might be a problem. We can blame and point fingers all we want, but there is a problem that does need to be addressed.
Again the problem is not kids playing on devices or not playing outside. It is the emotionally, societal, and cultural effect one aspect of said tech is having.
