[quote=Anonymous]Our 13yo isn’t allowed social media at all. The only one she “wants” is Snapchat but that is definitely not going to happen. She says so many of her friends use it to communicate and she is “left out” sometimes but she also understands why we don’t let her have it. She will be allowed to have some sm when she is 16 or so, but that will depend on a number of factors like her grades, her emotional maturity and her friends. I do want her to have it before college so she has some guidance when she begins using it. We allowed her to have an iPhone with time limits and app restrictions at age 12 at the beginning of 7th grade (she’s young for her grade). She knows we can check it anytime and if she doesn’t let us know her password she will lose her phone. She’s had it about a year and so far has been very responsible, although she does sometimes use it too much. We feel that teaching our kids net literacy is very important. [/quote]
