[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS will be 14 soon. He will get a phone for his birthday. Now he has started to hang out with friends without an adult and do things without us for more than a couple of hours. He really didn't need it before now. I want him to be able to contact us without needing to borrow a phone or go to the school office to call. As a PP mentioned, DS already has unfettered access to the internet on the family laptop. I can see where he goes and I check often. He will only be able to access apps that I allow. I have no issues taking a device if my kids don't behave and aren't responsible with them.[/quote] That’s what I thought initially, that I’d be able to keep tabs on them. But they are very crafty. They learn from friends. I personally can’t keep up with the technology. It’s a full time job, m top of my regular job, my parent job, my spousal job, etc. and it constantly keeps changing. [/quote]
