[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the helpful replies. She would have options sometimes, just not all the time. Like I said, I would ease up restrictions during non-school times, but use of the restrictions during school times would ensure that the device would be less of a distraction from schoolwork. And there would be fewer restrictions as she grows older and more responsible.

For those of you who have no restrictions, aren't you concerned about your kids googling anything and everything without you knowing? For example, if a kid googles "decapitation" or sexual slang just out of curiosity, all kinds of disturbing things pop up in texts, images, and videos. Some things once seen, cannot be unseen. I still have some pretty vivid memories of images from childhood, and my daughter had nightmares a few years ago after a sleepover when they dared each other to watch the scariest youtube video they could find. Maybe some of you think this is a good way to learn a lesson and start a discussion, but personally, I think it might not be worth having the worst of these images stuck in her head at this impressionable age. I think a computer in a public area can inhibit it these kinds of internet searches, but a kid would not feel the same level of inhibition on a personal device.[/quote]
