Do you think having their social media checked by a parent might negatively affect how their peers view and treat your child?


Quite a dilemma, huh?

It’s either allowing dangers of internet or allowing some peer pressure because your kid is “loser who not only is not on snapgram but doesn’t even have a phone and they’re in a second grade already”


No dilemma. If your kid can’t handle it, they get additional restrictions until they’ve grown up a bit.


Pretty much the dilemma with all garbage pop culture too.


Nope. We’ve checked her phone daily since she got her phone. You’d be amazed at how kids will complain for a few days and then just get used to the restrictions when they see that it’s their loss if they don’t comply. Another example, she wanted to keep her phone in her room at night. Nope, not gonna happen. “But my friends…” “Your friends are not my children, if you want a phone you turn it in at 10pm”. She complained for a few days…and now it’s just the routine.
