[quote=Anonymous]Started w flip phone in 6th grade; DD got her smartphone at end of 7th but we locked down the browser and get alerts on any apps she downloads (thank you, Apple). She was most excited about getting to pick out a fun phone case and the fact that she doesn't have to push buttons multiple time to text. She and our son (who is going in to 6th and got a dumb phone) developed a set of rules for use which has been great to refer to over the summer. She was one of the last if not THE last of her friends to get one but it wasn't a big issue. I do think in certain circles this is a bigger deal than others. We pay 100% and it is clear that the phones are ours and they just have the privilege of using them. They are plugged in downstairs (may shift to our room if/when it becomes too tempting for them to sneak down after bedtime) and no phone 30 mins before bedtime.[/quote]
