Why not if you're a parent who thinks smartphones are bad, don't give one to your kid? No reason for a law here.

Parent here, raising kids without smartphones until they're at least in high school.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Older millennial here who didn't get a (dumb) phone until high school, so I have no idea what the state is with kids and phones nowadays. Are they pressured by friends/school to have smart phones? How do you help them manage/cope?

Yes. It's how they communicate via social media and watch Tiktok. Also, the better the iphone you have, the cooler you are.
