[quote=Anonymous]This is not normal. A 13 year old needs something to communicate with friends. How about a locked down iPad for FaceTiming friends while at home, and a dumb phone or better yet Apple Watch for going out so she has a way to get in touch? Schools are moving towards no cell phones during the school day so she shouldn’t feel left out not having a phone at school but it’s very unfair to just block a kid from participating socially. Your DH isn’t being realistic. In the 90s I had cousins whose parents were conservative evangelicals and they did not have TV or video games or junk food. When my cousins came to my house, they couldn’t handle it and would binge and be totally sucked into the Nintendo and potato chips, like way more than my siblings and I ever were. There is something to teaching kids how to properly handle things rather than try to keep them away forever.[/quote]
