[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are pretty much the only middle school parents we know whose kids don’t have a phone or watch - our children do have iPads at home and have demonstrated over time that they can use them very responsibly (we read all their texts which they are aware of and most of their iPad use is in an open area when we are around). I think it depends on the kid honestly - for some kids it really gets them into trouble and others not so much, but regardless of that, I would definitely not allow kids to have social media like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, etc until 16 years old or so. I say this because my line of work is researching social media and its impact on kids and I think the biggest problems are the social media apps. Group texting for me is a case by case basis with the ability to take group texting features away if things went awry at any point.[/quote]

Didn't Australia just ban social media accounts for kids under 16? I totally agree with you, but I know many do not.[/quote]
