My dd is 7. She's fairly innocent for her age, well, I feel she is compared to some of her peers, I worry she'll be left behind her social group. More so since lockdown and she is being shielded so hasn't had any interaction with other children.
She's had an amazing imagination and will make a game out of anything, she lives her Barbies, dolls and small world play.
A school friend of hers came to the front gate this morning. We stood on the door step and was so excited to see them.
They are taller than her and just seemed so much more grown up than she is. They were going on about their mobile phone and Xbox games, neither of these things my dd has shown an interest in, and personally I feel 7 is too young for a mobile phone.
But now I'm worrying I am burying in my head in the sand and babying my dd. I don't want her to be the the only child who doesn't have a phone or take part in these games.
AIBU to think a 7 year shouldn't have a phone? Am I worrying about nothing?
