[quote=Anonymous]My rules from age 13+ (when we get the kids their own phone; before then they borrow an older "family" flip phone on any occasion we think they need a phone with them) are pretty simple: 1. don't create, send or store images containing nudity, 2. don't knowingly create, retain, access, or discuss anything related to illegal behavior on your part unless you're willing to suffer the current legal consequences of the thing in question, and 3. don't get yourself into trouble. In practice that last rule covers a lot. I don't set limits on when or how much they use their phones but if phone use starts to contribute to behavior problems (bad grades, late to obligations, taking nasty attitudes towards others, etc) then they know that's an issue and that's when stricter rules they won't like might come into play. As long as they can and do manage themselves, I don't need to; if they demonstrate that they need my help to make appropriate choices, that is what will happen.[/quote]
