[quote=Anonymous]We ended up giving a phone earlier than anticipated. It came with strict parameters at age 11. She was very happy to follow the rules because she was excited to have the phone. She got no SM until age 13 and then only IG. No SC until much later. By the time we allowed SC, she had already had the experience of seeing friends and acquaintances hurt by online bs and wanted no part of that world. I have all of her logins. I check them less often now, but I still check and boy does my sparse monitoring give me a lot of information about other kids. We also made a choice to send her to a school that doesn’t allow certain grades to bring devices to school. And no use of devices during the school day for the kids who are allowed to have them at school. We also sent her to two camps over the summer that are screen free. My perception is that she uses it appropriately. [/quote]
