[quote=Anonymous]Age 12 was the perfect age for the cell phone. No regrets at all. They learned how to navigate it, limit it, and communicate with it. Their teachers even used them on field trips for communication at Hershey Park! The kids learn how to group chat and stay up with one another. It’s been a great social tool. They are learning independence and how to deal with social interactions. You can coach them and offer pointers. You are still watching over them and guiding them but slowly loosening the reins in middle school. They also enjoy the camera, the apps, the internet, etc. They also learn how to limit it and balance the academics. They don’t take them to school since the policy is Away for the Day. [/quote]
