[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks dcum for mostly not answering the question, but giving advice that no one asked for. Why would you ask your kids what they want re technology. You are the parent. Here is what for all those who asked: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/07/12/1187130983/smartphone-tween-safe-alternatives?utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwAR2Vz3sLRUUbWgO7_2pxWc7kneXv5T6LznwptTavSDvS3JFC8jQ3VgFpEbw_aem_AX3bSkNMIl_qf_ADAtEmuzNqkqzf67w80St2NhbOqK6eGKIIH-tM-pzauZhQ6r8lQGI&mibextid=Zxz2cZ[/quote] Well, you must be a little slow if you don’t see how an Apple Watch has about the same features as a flip phone in a different form factor. Of course you ask your kids what they want, you’re not a little iron fist dictator of the family. Won’t they decide for themselves what clothes to wear, what food they want to eat, present they want to get etc, what classes to take? Not saying they decide everything, but they should have some input. Yes, the big fears of our youth being corrupted and ruined. Before cell phones it was video games, television, swing dancing etc. in Middle Ages it was books, during Socrates times it was philosophy. Somehow though, every generation has young people doing great things, in spite of the fears of their grandpas. [/quote]
