[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Not when they are out.  They go places without parents by middle school.  Out to eat, mall, walks, bikes etc.  they meet up with friends.  [/quote]

But wouldn't they make those plans at home and then when the group is moving to do something else they just go with them?[/quote]

Sure, but then you become the parent who never knows where your kid is.  At some point, it’s your turn to pick them up and they have to text you using their friends phone to tell you to go to Starbucks instead of Panera as originally planned.  It gets old, always borrowing a friends phone for this. [/quote]
