[quote=Anonymous]I have girls almost 18 and 15. Both have had phones since 6th grade. We have always had downtime settings and apps they couldn’t have or timers on certain apps (this has obviously evolved over time) and they charge in the kitchen but it honestly has been fine. They are good kids, good students, and I frankly haven’t had many issues. They show me their feeds and their friend’s feeds. It’s really pretty similar to my Facebook feed. I do feel like the drama about phones is somewhat overblown. I think some parents just don’t supervise it very well. Kids up to no good, or prone to mental health issues are not that way just because you gavethem a phone - it was likely going to manifest some other way. [/quote]
