[quote=Anonymous]Definitely not all 7th graders have one at my kids Big 3. I would hold off as long as possible. You can get an apple watch for him if it is the texting option he wants, but without all the apps and internet access. His own number. The watch can be available as needed, when he goes on outings without you,etc so he can call you, etc. The you can transfer that number to a cell phone summer before 8th or whenever. I am a firm rule maker with my kids devices--and they follow them or they know they will be taken away for periods of time ( BTDT) I think you hold off as the phone long as possible, but get him a number to text to/from so he can be included in plans as they are made. Most of my son's friends did not have phones in 6th. 8th, yes, but not 6th. he is now in HS.[/quote]
