[quote=Anonymous]As long as he has other activities with kids his age outside of school that he actually likes to do, he'll be fine socially. Sports, boy scouts, robotics club, whatever. Do what you can to hold off on phones and video games until late middle school if you can. No social media until HS. Our family rule with video games and social media is that the kid has to be able to explain to us how the app/company makes money before they can access the game or site. They don't need to understand everything fully but they need to be able to comprehend the basics e.g. "Instagram makes money by showing me people who have really cool stuff and so that I want to buy it too. It's just like the commercials on TV"[/quote]
