[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a fourth grader. He got a basic watch at the end of 2nd grade out of necessity [b]since I started a new job and I needed to be able to contact him.[/b] He can only contact those on a list I approve, which are all family members. He has a few friends with apple watches that seem to call each other, and every now and then, but I don't think anyone that I know of has an actual phone. I think most kids in my neighborhood get phones starting for 7th grade or so.[/quote]

Were you letting your 2nd grader stay home alone? I would think that most 2nd graders are with adults all the time and you could contact the adult with him.[/quote]

DP, but some families have challenges financially that make this difficult.

However in this situation a VoIP phone like Ooma can serve as a home phone for the same price as a watch, if anyone ever needs an option here. My kids are older (old enough to stay home for an hour under Virginia guidelines, but not old enough for their own devices) and like having a home phone for the occasional situations where they are by themselves.[/quote]
