[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11 year old should be in middle school.  Fine to have a phone.  I don’t think schools should make that an assignment when they are on computers most of the day.   [/quote]

11 year olds are only in 5th grade. What planet are you from?[/quote]

My 5th graded is 10. Turns 11 in 6th.  What planet are you from?[/quote]

My DD turned 11 in sixth and she was moved ahead a year. The PP is right - most kids turn 11 in fifth or the summer before sixth.

OP, if my child was having such a crazy reaction over that assignment, I don’t think I would have piled on by taking the phone for a week. But now that you’re where you are, I wouldn’t be begging him to talk or doing things for him. Seems like a switch flipped for your family because of this assignment and how you all reacted to it.

If it were me, I’d let him know that until he was able to participate in the family life, he can expect me to fulfill my obligations as a parent but that’s it. No money. No treats. No rides beyond the necessary. Etc. I’d also be setting an appointment with a counselor. [/quote]
