[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is exactly why a group of a dozen friends of mine are making a pact not to give smartphones to our kids until high school (at the earliest). And our group is growing. So we at least know that our kids have these other close friends to pal around with at recess and talk about plenty of other stuff besides technology. They don't feel ostracized and we don't feel guilty in any way for "depriving" them of technology. When we got together as parents and first discussed this we were all so relieved to have a group to back each other up. [/quote]

I hope it lasts but some of those moms will cave.  Wait and see... [/quote]

Agree. There was one mom who was a hold out, she made pronouncements about it on FB for over a year, she quietly bought her DD a phone the second month of 6th grade.

Musicaly, I ruined that one for my kid. She showed me some of her friends and I doubled over with laughter and told her they looked like idiots. She never asked for musicaly again. The videos do make them look like idiots.[/quote]
