[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont understand this concept.  Why do so many people need to sign pledges?  I believe parenting is doing whats best for your family and household.  Even by individual child.  One child could be mature enough at a certain age to do something that another child is not. 
 I'm not worried about what other families are doing.  Back when my kids were young they would point out what other kids had or could do and I consistently respond that is their home and different homes have different values.  Im only concerned about my house and their well being.  [/quote]

You're not wrong, but its not about maturity, once you had them a smart phone, you've effectively ended their childhood. Does a parent really want that for a kid 8th grade or younger?[/quote]

I mean, that statement is just ridiculous. My 6th grader has my old smart phone to 1) contact her parents if plans change or when she’s home alone (no landline), and talk to her grandparents. No social media, etc. Her average usage is less than 5 minutes a day. She still plays with dolls and plays in the yard often. She’s definitely still a child, with a childhood. [/quote]

That's great for your child,  but the sad reality is for alot of kids, it's not like that at all. [/quote]
