[quote=Anonymous]We also don't have a landline, so started a little earlier with the cell phones. For both kids, a basic flip phone in 4th grade. Older kid upgraded to a smart phone in 8th, younger kid hasn't reached that age yet. 4th grade was when they started wandering the neighborhood more independently, staying home alone for an hour or two at a time, or occasionally taking the bus home to an empty house. I wanted them to be able to reach us, and for us to reach them. I also like that both kids can talk to their friends without borrowing my cell phone, especially now in distance learning. It's important for them to stay connected with their friends, and I need my cell for work. That wouldn't be as big of a deal in a normal year, but it's been huge this year.[/quote]
