[quote=Anonymous]Why does a 14 year old have zero need for a phone? Like she literally never goes off with her friends or walks anywhere alone? That’s really weird for 14. Even if they get rides to school they usually make after school plans and bop around together to Starbucks or the mall. Seems like maybe you are suffocating her? Assuming that total control will prevent issues, when in reality your anxiety is creating other ones. I think she’s more than old enough for a phone and being the only one w/o isn’t doing much but isolating her at this point, but getting an Apple Watch is a good compromise if you really have to dig in your heels on this (baby steps). And you can tell if she proves responsible with that you’ll get her a phone before august. And all this dismissing of social stuff - did the pandemic not reach us that this stuff is way more important than we previously thought? [/quote]
