[quote=Anonymous]Yes, my rising sixth-grade daughter has a phone, which she got for Christmas in fifth grade. We have strict rules about the phone, including that it is only permitted until 8pm, when it gets plugged in to charge in our (parents') bedroom, with a "Do not disturb" on it. We also require a password to download apps, and she has very limited access to social media. Additionally, she is required to answer our texts and calls unless there is a very good reason, such as the phone being in her bag when she is at sports practice, off while she is at school, or on silent while she is in a movie with friends. Having a kid who carpools with teammates to, or who we just drop off at, sports practices means we wanted her to have her own phone so she didn't have to rely on others to allow her to use their phone to get in contact with us.
