Spanish parents not realising they can already ban their children from having cell phones at any time they want and on whatever terms they want
It's not simple, and the fact that you are trying to make it sound simple is confusing at best.
Even if a very small percentage of teens has a phone, the social pressure for all to have it becomes unbearable.
Plus things like marketing phones to children and teens would also be banned if a law like that were to come into effect.
One of the best things you can teach you children is to ignore social pressure.
It's amazing that you're such an illuminated parent, and no doubt a blessed human being who doesn't suffer social pressure, but your point is meaningless/harmful as it ignores the reality that most humans and parents suffer from social pressure.
Therefore it's important to teach children to deal with it.
