Agreed on all that. I'm not looking forward to my son discovering it.

This is a normal post I die inside a bit every time I see some toddler wandering about clutching a smartphone
Seems like childhood isn't really a thing now

This is a normal post Childhood.
It's supposedly a thing we did without until two or three hundred years ago according to some over-educated social science types.

Not that women used to give birth to adults, just that we didn't use to fetishise/idealise the concept of childhood as a special time of innocence and wonder, rather we put them to work, and/or sold/married them off asap.

The evidence for this theory is pretty shonky as I recall.
