[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, by middle school if your child does not have a phone with the ability to text, then he/she WILL be left out of social situations. Kids make their plans that way without parental involvement. You might say fine, but to kids at this age there is not much more important than having friendships. I will be giving my son a phone to start 6th grade, but no social apps like Instagram or Snapchat.[/quote] well parents need to teach their kids to TALK and not rely on their phones ... come on these kids lack common sense its sickening [/quote] You can't turn back the clock on technology. Kids are using iPads and other tablet devices in kindergarten. Yes, kids need to learn to talk and not rely on their phones, but you also need to understand that kids communicate differently today, even differently than just a year or two ago. Heck, a lot of my younger staff at work all communicate work issues via Snap Chat. [/quote]
