[quote=Anonymous]Those with younger kids, please note that it was a lot easier to keep screens away from kids who are now in their late teens/college aged. My daughter's first couple of phones were just basic phones that didn't even have a texting keyboard - no kids had smartphones. My son (now 18) got a smartphone in 7th grade, but MS kids weren't trying to get on Snapchat or Instagram. Things have changed dramatically and now I see 9 year olds with the latest iPhone. I would still wait until middle school, but when I hear parents say there will be no phone at all until 16, I just don't think it's realistic.[/quote]
