[quote=Anonymous]My kids have had phones since age 5, smartphones from middle school on. Rules were the minimum needed for common sense and safety, and we always made sure the kids understood why each rule we had was necessary. We didn't have (or want) their passwords, but we did have an absolute policy of "no blame and no questions asked until later" for if they needed to come to us about something that made them uncomfortable. And we were strict about pictures. We wouldn't have done our rules the way you did, but the reasons behind the rules you made are understandable and I think they're in line with many families' rules.[/quote]
