[quote=Anonymous]We set my kids up with iMessage and a way to communicate with friends on the family iPad and/or old iPhones without cell service that didn’t leave the house in 5th grade. This was a long time ago, since mine are older teens, and I don’t know if kids are now communicating amongst themselves in 4th. They used them on strict parental controls in common areas of the house. As they got older, we slowly gave them more access to apps and more privacy depending on them, their needs and their friends. Conversations on internet safety were ongoing. One kid went out independently and farther earlier than the other. He got a phone first. Still heavily restricted but got more and more apps. Mine never wanted watches. Now as teens neither have any restrictions at all but they can self manage well. We thought that was an important skill to learn and it took years. [/quote]
