My DD is 8.5yrs old - she's a bright kid and up until now has been happy with her library of books (she's a real bookworm) and our pc which she loves to use.
But she's now constantly asking for a mobile phone and a Gameboy.....just because her mates have them.
I don't see the point in buying a mobile phone because she's too young to go out/down the town etc on her own and a Gameboy, in my view, teaches her nothing and does nothing for her eyesight.
Am I right or wrong??
I let her play with her mates, she has mates over for tea, she's going away on residential trips soon, after school clubs, discos...so its not a case of me holding her back but I just don't see the point in forking out for electronic gadgets!
