We do this. They know the dangers of social media. The oldest 2 are in college and you get is 15. We haven’t had any problems letting them do this.

That you know about.

I’m 100% ok with that. It works for us and we’ve raised two kids to adulthood.

Is this the bar now? My children have made it to adulthood.

Well yeah you’ve failed as a parent if your kids never become adults.

Laptop charges in kitchen with cell phone at bedtime. I turn the Bluetooth off on phone so AirPods can’t connect from bedroom should they be tempted to make phone calls without their phone in their room.

I'm sure this isn't what you mean but some kids die tragically and it's not the parents' fault. Be kinder.

No screens in the bedroom for our tween. I try to make sure to take kindles/ipads away at least 30 minutes before bedtime so the tween can decompress and read quietly without the stimulation of the screen.

No, we do not. And I’ve told my kids that they are going to have friends with more strict and more lenient parents than we are, that every family has different rules, and I don’t engage in the arguments about what other kids are and are not doing.

No devices with WiFi and camera behind closed doors ever and most certainly not at night. They know this is the policy until age 16.

Sending/receiving inappropriate content is rampant (and of course illegal). Yes, many of the "angel" children of parents posting on this forum are sending/receiving inappropriate content. You can bet on it. Perhaps at this very moment?

I've had a computer in my room since I was 8 (wifi wasn't a house hold thing yet) and it was fine until wifi became a thing. My parents had a USB drive for wifi for me that they would take at 9pm every night unless I was actively working on a project. Might look into disconnecting wifi at that time, but I have no help for the phone as I didn't get one till I was 17.

Pediatrician said not to have electronics in their room. Not even a TV. So, no. We don't allow it. Phones charge downstairs every night.
