[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids without a phone often get left out. Don’t do that to your child. We have a lot of rules around when the phone can be used but not having one makes it so much harder socially.[/quote] Dumb question but could they not just load whichever apps onto an iPad and use that to communicate? My kids aren't teens yet so just curious. [/quote] Yes, my kid has iMessage with an email address + discord on her iPad, so she gets all communications with friends. What she doesn’t get is portability. I do a lot of carpool and really dislike how kids take the phone out as soon as they get in the car and zone out… This carpool started when they didn’t have phones and they used to talk in the car! So anyway, my kid has a fully loaded iPad + gizmo watch for communicating with me and seems to work for us so far. [/quote]
