[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I trust that my 13 year old follows the few rules we have set up, because they are kept to a minimum, are truly essential to safety, and she participated in the process of deciding upon them so we have her buy-in. [b]We didn't monitor our older DDs (now ages 21 and 23) phones or Internet (beyond the Antivirus set up on our home network that protects all of our computers), and that seems to have worked out fine.[/quote] [/b] That may be so, however, things have changed immensely since 2008, when your older DDs were 13 and 15. Kids that age were not using social media at that time and phones did not have the apps that are now available. In fact there were very few smart phones on the market then, with the iphone barely on the market for one year. You are kiding yourself if you think your 13 year old is operating in the same world your older kids did as young teens. You think you can rely solely on trust? Good luck with that.[/quote]
