[quote=Anonymous]I understand extenuating circumstances and the wish to stay in touch, but it’s a can of worms. I really suggest holding off as long as possible and not giving your kid what will ultimately be extra stress. Kids can do what we did when out in neighborhood - check in occasionally. I have a fourth grader who also has friends with watches/phones, and I don’t get it. He shares that friends are playing games on their watches or even watching YouTube on their phones (and now my kid is watching YouTube on your kid’s phone…) on the bus. Yes, there are some conveniences, but it’s not worth the drawbacks. Anyway, my kid asked and I said no, and that’s it. I feel ZERO guilt bc I am confident I am making the right choice. OP, no phones for elementary kids. Not needed.[/quote]
