We’ve been debating getting her a phone or a SIM card for her existing iPhone that she uses like a iPod. I think we’ve decided to wait on that (at the recommendation of her school advisor and our own feelings about smart phones and kids) but let her take the iPod to school so she can communicate with us if necessary, and feel a little more grown up. She knows she’s not allowed to use it during school and is respectful of that. She also knows we will check (and there are time limits and parental controls on everything). She claims most of her friends have phones but we know that isn’t totally the case, it’s about 50/50.
She turned 11 in October and is in 6th grade. Her holiday list was 4 things, a book, clothes, giving to others and learning to make a soufflé with her grandmother, which we are doing over zoom this week. We “adopted” 5 local children in need and she picked out gifts and clothes for them. She also has helped me choose and wrap gifts for her younger siblings. Ever since we told her the “truth” about Santa and invited her to join us in being a Santa and making Christmas magic happen for others she has fully embraced it. [/quote]
