[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Group parenting….how weird.[/quote] Thinking you know everything and not gaining any insight from other parents' collective experience...how weird.[/quote] I knew what was best for MY kids.[/quote] Come on this is a huge area where the community matters. I am not planning to sign a pledge but I really appreciate efforts by other people to hold off because the peer pressure aspect is probably the most intense of any kind. Once every other kid has their own phone the handful of kids who don’t are not included in the majority of communication outside school. There absolutely is a social cost to being dramatically behind everyone else in this way. I knew a child who got their first phone their senior year of high school (3 years ago). That’s so far outside the norm I would never be able to do it even if I think to myself “wow in a perfect world no teenager needs a phone!”. [/quote]
