[quote=Anonymous]No. DS got a smartphone for his birthday in 9th grade. It's another thing I have to monitor, but I wanted him to learn how to use a phone and what not to do before he became an adult. It's a pain, but he hasn't developed as strong of an attachment to it as many other kids I've seen who got them younger. He also had a chance to learn what to ignore and when not to respond. And he learned that parents check phones. Now that he's a senior, I explain that this won't last forever, but I'll be checking it occasionally as long as he's still living at home and in high school. Those are valuable lessons. [/quote]
