[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids got phones in 6th but locked down with no access to internet, etc until years later. Basically a nice device to text and make calls. Why 6th? Because school assumed all kids had phones. Activities = “your child will text when we are 30 minutes out” after cross country meet. Group chats, sports pick ups, etc. We allow zero access to social media or search engine and have tons of restrictions. It is possible to set limits if you’re willing to do so. We also make clear that our kid doesn’t own the phone. Parents do. It’s ours. Kid owns the phone case but the phone inside of it can disappear at any time, because it belongs to parents. [/quote] This 100 percent. But our kid would just use their teachers to call me when they needed to in 6th. So it is possible without one too, but all the above is spot on![/quote]
