[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This idea that if you don’t give your kid a phone you will block out all the “bad” things, whatever that means to you, is naive and black and white thinking. It’s a cop out. Parent your kid.[/quote] Also the idea that an ipad is fine but a phone is not is very misguided Two of my nieces were not allowed cell phones but had ipads in their early teen/middle school years (different parents) Both got involved with all sorts of predatory adults online. Their parents thought that they were being safer, since one girl was "just" involved in writing groups for young teens/preteens and the other was "just" looking at anime fandom (I know, "safe" anime and fan fiction onlune groups, riiight)[/quote] Reminds me of the parents on here who brag about their kids having no social media but allow unlimited YouTube and have no clue that it’s the same content.[/quote]
