[quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader doesn't have a phone, and I don't know anyone his age who does. My older son got an Iphone for his 13th birthday. He texts friends and plays games on it, but doesn't use any social media. I think waiting for a phone helped him avoid the worst types of social media and stupid behavior. He asked for access to Snapchat and Instagram only to delete both apps a few days later - wouldn't explain why but just said he didn't like all the stupid stuff kids were doing. To the PPs who say, hey all your kids have tablets or computers, so what's the difference? The difference is portability and ubiquity. No kid needs to carry a handheld computer (even with parental restrictions) with them everywhere at 9-10yo.[/quote]
