When couples disagree about balancing traditional values with children's technology use

My wife and I want to raise our kids with good values and respect for elders, but we keep fighting about screen time and social media because she thinks I'm too strict about traditional values while I think she's too permissive about technology undermining family hierarchy. We both care about character development but can't agree on what that means when our kids have smartphones and their friends are online all the time.

More people experience this than they realize.
