[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is going to get a phone in eighth grade. END OF DISCUSSION! However in her fourth grade class a lot of parents are getting their kids phones. Should I get her an Apple Watch? Should I cave and get her a phone? A dummy phone? I think the other parents need to be better but I don’t really know what to do, I’m not going to get her a phone. Should I get her one? Great, now I’m crying![/quote]

Do not get her phone.  She’s too young and those parents are insane.  Once you give her one you can’t come back.  You will not be the only one waiting till 8th grade.  She will be able to communicate with them on an iPad at home with strict time limits.

Also - FYI - those apps that say the limit screen time and protect your kids have 1 million work around and kids figure them all out.

Mom of 9th grader who got a phone in 5th and totally regretted it.  Took it away in 7th for most of the year after way too much fighting and online bullying and scary moment with strangers.[/quote]
