[quote=Anonymous]I give no expectation of privacy to my kids and their phone activities. And explicitly talk through possible scenarios and that they need to be comfortable coming to parents with issues. So, what happens if someone starts bullying in a chat, what if someone sends them an inappropriate picture etc etc. And I openly talk about what’s in the group chat. I don’t parent other kids (if it’s not super serious) but we talk about things said that aren’t ok. Need to have an open line of commmunicaiton and the moment that stops, the phone goes away. It’s a privilege not a right. Of course, we will adjust as she ages, but that’s where I am with our 6th grader. 10th grader has more freedom but still no expectation of privacy. Of course, she now has Snapchat, so there is an element of trust there since I can’t really see everything in that app. [/quote]
