[quote=Anonymous]My kids got a dumb phone in 5th grade and a smart phone the summer before high school. Around 6th or 7th grade they start looking and posting to social media ( Instagram ) occasionally on my phone so I can monitor and they learn restraint. Two older kids tell me in retrospect they think waiting for smartphone was a good idea, although they gave me a really tough time about it in middle school and took some teasing from friends and actually were left out of some social stuff because they didn’t have an iPhone. You won’t regret waiting to put a smartphone in your kids’ hands, but I have heard many, many parents regret having given their kids smartphones too early.[/quote]
