[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What makes sense about 8th graders not having phones and no chance in sight? Why to prove a point? Is this like seeing whose kid can ride backwards in the carseat for the longest? [/quote] The “why” for us is based on the multiple sources that show that phones and their content are detrimental to kids mental health and their developing brains.[/quote] This is so dumb. There is so much content on a phone that is not detrimental to a developing brain. What's detrimental is not teaching a child how to properly use a phone, and how and when to put it down so they know that life is more than just what's on a phone. As a parent, you are the best judge on knowing when your kid can handle that responsibility. For some that's 8th grade, for others, that's either later or earlier.[/quote]
