[quote=Anonymous]My oldest has been easy: he didn't want a phone too badly until later than a lot of kids (got his at 13.) By his own choice, he does not use Insta or Snapchat, just group texts & Discord. Sounds like a distinction without a difference but he literally never takes a photo so there's a whole world of problems we've managed to avoid. Never balked at keeping it downstairs overnight. But even still it's an addiction. Even for a "good" kid you will have to forcibly kick them off the screen. So build that into the arrangement when you get the phone. I know people who have written contracts with their kids with penalties for misuse or restrictions on time/content/etc. Set the boundaries and enforce them.[/quote]
