Yes, my kid has an ipod too. She is 8, so I went into settings and disabled a bunch of stuff. I even thought it was funny when I couldn't figure out later why she didn't have an app store, and then I realized it was because I disabled it.  Safari is not enabled, and since she is so young, she hasn't even asked about it.  All she does is play minecraft and a horse game.  I look at it frequently while she is playing to make sure.  But I am worried about this as she gets older.  [/quote]

An ipod at 8? What is she going to have when she's 10? 12?

As a teacher, I am continually frustrated at the decisions parents make which affect kids' attention spans, social expectations, etc.[/quote]

Really?   The other kids in her class either have an ipod, kindle or ipad.  She is not an outlier at all.  She does not have unlimited access to it.  She only uses it in our living room, and like I said, she mostly plays minecraft on it.  And she shows me what she creates.  Look mom at my cats, my horse, what should I make next, maybe a waterpark?  That is what my dd is doing on her ipod.  [/quote]

And you think playing minecraft is a good use of an 8 year olds time? Sorry, I agree with the teacher. She's too young to be so absorbed in this PP, although I know it must make a convenient babysitter for you.[/quote]
