[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We ended up letting our children get phones in middle school because social activities were planned through texting and facetime. When we noticed our oldest was being left out, not intentionally just because she didn't have the tools the kids were using to communicate, we adjusted our rules. It's been fine. Our kids don't have the same access as other kids, but we're also not pretending they live in a different reality than they actually live in. I'd check with other parents and see what's really going on. It's possible your kid is giving you an accurate picture. It's also possible she really wants a phone and is seeing them everywhere because she's looking for them.[/quote] Just get them a non-smart phone with texting capabilities then. But most say this and then get them all the bells/whistles. [/quote]
