[quote=Anonymous]I am shocked how many people give their kids electronics in 5th grade?  My daughter is in 5th and we only see a handful.  Maybe because they are not allowed at our school?  What is everyone's rationalize for giving their children these smartphones besides just following a pack of other moms? If you just have to be able reach them every second of every day (that is usually the excuse moms with no backbones say) just give them a phone that only calls.  Every carrier has one.  No need to give kids 10yrs old full internet, text, social media, and non stop games JUST so you can call them if needed.  It amazes me how many parents are so scared of their kids being outside alone but have no problems with them looking at screens, the web, texting, and social media all day.

OP, don't come crying here about messed up texts, if you are the one enabling it.  Just take away the phone.  They are too young to handle permanent consequences from cell phones.  You secretly know this but you are looking for other ways instead.    [/quote]
