we check periodically too. But it sometimes blurs the boundaries and she also enters our phone or computer without permission. if we put a password or change it, it would always end up in a conversation that its not fair... how can you check mine and I can't use yours bla bla. Then we have to discuss about the adult and child previlege which I am so sick of talking about!

Regarding the adult versus child rights/privileges issue, we always just said DD isn't legally responsible for our conduct and legally and morally obligated to keep us safe to the best of her abilities. We are towards her. Consequently, the phone gets checked.

The phone charges in the kitchen at 9 nightly until the next morning.

Alternatively you can set up so you get all the texts to your phone as well, but with the sheer number of texts that could get very annoying very quickly. You could have all photos sent to a shared folder on the cloud as well, and put the cloud folder on your phone too.

I have a 7th grade girl and a 6th grade boy. They both have iPods. I check them everyday, too, and they also charge downstairs at night.

There are no civil liberties in our house.

+1. We're very clear that our kids don't have a right to privacy on phones or other electronic devices. Just knowing that upfront was enough to make one of my kids decide she didn't want a phone after all; not such a bad outcome in my opinion.
