[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say essential but it is helpful. But we do have strict rules about them. They leave them downstairs when they're doing homework. They're not in their rooms with them at night. They can't be checking their phone throughout family dinner. They don't really complain about it because it's just the way it is and always has been. [/quote] We’ve taken a very similar approach. Got each of our kids iPhones the summer before 6th grade. They’re in 9th and 7th now, and the rules remain, for all of us (no phones in bedrooms overnight, no phones at dinner table or while watching TV/movies as a family, etc.). I’d also agree with the 90% stat for 6th graders with phones.[/quote]
