[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader has no means of texting other kids and he is not the only one. He has a watch that can only text us. For middle school we will probably get an apple watch. He is not particularly responsible which is the reason he doesnt have one now. He is able to ride his bike and meet kids in the neighborhood. He sees friends almost every day. I am simply not willing to open that can of worms. Too many kids i know have had crises about things they saw on their phones.[/quote] We resisted until 9th grade. Very glad we did. Teenage text-drama is toxic. And by “toxic,” I mean it quite literally causes mental illness among teens, with anxiety being the most common result. Please don’t do that to your children.[/quote]
