[quote=Anonymous]It totally depends on the individual kid. DS1 loses everything so his phone is cheap. On the other hand he is pretty good at setting limits for himself, so he is allowed to hold on to his phone and laptop at night. DS2 is careful with belongings, so his phone is fancier. But his self-regulation is iffy, so electronics stay downstairs at night. Both have laptops. We check their usage some, and check their facebooks frequently, but don't constantly peer over their shoulders. DS2 has a limited data plan for his phone, which he pays for. DS1 didn't want to spend that money. Good parenting means that you make the rules fit the individual kid, not that you make the rules according to someone else's theory of what all kids do/don't need.[/quote]
