The detailed proposal includes banning smartphones for all under 3, promoting certain 'dumbphones' for teenagers, as well as discouraging the use of social media up to age 12.

One parent on social media said, "Our kids are glued to screens, affecting their mental health and family relationships."

Another expressed the need for strict guidelines in India as he commented, "India needs strict guidelines too. Children here spend hours on TikTok-like apps."

Although the initiative has been commendable, receiving praise across the world, it would be interesting to see how the Spanish government would oversee the massive headache of its execution.
