You could be a parent or let the state parent for you.

Sorry to disappoint you, but from ten years old onwards your kids spend way more time socializing with other members of Society than with their parents, and there's no way around that, so I'd rather live in a society where kids aren't being abused by harmful businesses (be then booze or social media makers).

The State is just the democratically organized emanation of Society. And believe it or not, humans are social animals.
