[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is not particularly sporty -- I think there's another group of girls that is off playing basketball.  There may also be a third group of girls that is off talking about boys, but she's not interested in that yet.  [/quote]

FWIW, at DD's school, there was lots of overlap between the girls focused on their phones and the girls interested in boys--and much of that was playing out online. Based on my DD and her friends, I know there have got to be more groups out there, available to your DD.[/quote]

The elementary girls who are engaging in social media are usually the ones who are more advanced and "teenage" in their social relationships too.[/quote]

Yup. And the ones sexting by middle school

You give your kids phones so early and they will tech savvy themselves before their brains are even mature enough to understand long term consequences. At least by high school, some of their frontal lobe is working. 4-8th grade? Those kids are clueless. And as soon as they make an error, they ca. Figure out how to hide it from Mom and Dad but not their social circle. [/quote]
