[quote=Anonymous]My kid is one of his only friends without a Smartphone. 6th grader/12 years old. Many of his friends have iPhone X and iPhone 8. My son can text and call on his phone and minimal ability to search. Very old phone. It serves it's purpose to be able to let him know if he needs to use his key because I'm not home when he gets home from school. My kid just throws it down when he gets home and doesn't really look at it. He will arrange play dates on it. Sometimes talk to his friend that is now at a different middle school. The phone always stays on counter downstairs where all of us charge the phones. I have long read the studies connecting depression and poor self-esteem and ability to concentrate, etc. from the hours spent on iphones. His parents don't do social media, but are very social people. We try to model smart internet behavior, etc.[/quote]
