As parents we can't just say kids will be kids. We have to be involved and in the moment with them. We have to show them we care and that we will be checking and be in their livesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642670396564291511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920415117737485148.post-69778261581883152162016-04-15T17:59:31.083-06:002016-04-15T17:59:31.083-06:00Here is my comment, you probably won't like it...Here is my comment, you probably won't like it. My husband and I didn't let our kids have cell phones until they turned 18. My husband and I each had one and we had a spare cell phone for the house. When one of our kids went on a school activity or somewhere with friends They took the spare or my phone with them. They weren't allowed to post anything on any social media with the phone. It was only used for contacting us in case of an emergency or to let us know they were ready to be picked up. They were allowed to give the spare phone number out to friends, so they could be contacted, but they weren't allowed to text! We raised five children to adulthood, the youngest just turned 21 and the oldest is 27. This never really caused a problem for us. We didn't have to worry about social media at all. My 2 youngest children are still in college and they rarely use social media even now. They all have smart phones and my 2 oldest use their phones for work and some social media. My middle daughter rarely uses hers. None of them Have been affected from not owning a cell phone growing up, but I think the benefit is that they use them for work and talking or texting and not much else.
