I’ve been leading the charge with peer parents that the new starter phone is a cell enabled smart watch rather than a smart phone. They can text; they can call; they can share location. Best of all: no social media. My youngest kid had classmates with phones in second grade… ugh. Unrelated story time: at my daughter’s 9th birthday party, one of her friends at the party literally tugged my shirt sleeve and asked if I could find her another activity to do because the party was boring. I explained that this was the activity for now and we’d be changing soon. Apparently this child has never been told no in their life because they whipped out a cell phone and called their mom, said the party was boring, and asked to be picked up. Their mom came and they left. I was pretty shocked.
