[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two families that we are friends with and their kids are not allowed to have cell phones until they are old enough to drive and no social media until 18.  They have very large families and let me tell you, these kids are the most sociable happy humble kids.  Not a lot of insecurities either.  These families keep their word too.  A few of their kids are over 16 and 18.  It's refreshing, I am not going to lie.

[b]Many Amish families have no cell phones. [/b] It can be done.  But sadly parents in America want their kids to have phones because they are anxious idiots and think they "need" them.[/quote]

Actually a lot of amish have cellphones, it's how they coordinate their amish taxis and go to their jobs off the farm. Do they text their buddies? Idk, a lot of them seem to be glued to their phones during breaks at the markets.

i also would not hold up the amish as an example, cutting off their kids from the world leads to really terrible abuse: https://people.com/crime/sins-of-the-amish-inside-amish-sex-abuse-survivor-quest-for-justice/
