[quote=Anonymous]My kid started texting a bit in 5th but didn’t have a phone and I did sometimes read the group texts. My kids got phones in 6th grade but they have downtime restrictions from 9pm to 7am so they cannot stay up texting or FaceTiming late into the night. They may be able to see the notification number of new texts, I’m not sure. My kids sometimes ask for changes to their downtime which so far have been reasonable (ending at 6:30am instead of 7 during school time; younger kid likes to FaceTime with a friend in the morning, changing downtime Starr when older kid, now 16, is out later in the evening, etc). I also let them have access to podcasts at night because I like to fall asleep to “stories” and they’ve been responsible about it. I do still sometimes check the 8th grader’s texts and haven’t seen anything very concerning.

OP, it’s great your kid is telling you this stuff and gives you so many opportunities to talk to your kid about responsible and irresponsible phone use before she gets her own. [/quote]
