It’s my DS birthday soon, he will be turning 11 we also have a DD 9. Both have been begging for phones for years! We have always said no because we think they are too young.
DS Is a good boy overall but he’s quite naughty if he thinks you won’t find out... probably like most kids... nothing serious at all... for example when he goes to his friends he will tell them he’s allowed to play 18 rated games that we have told him he’s not to play and he will try and watch ‘rude’ things on YouTube that he knows we have said no to... we have 2 younger kids in the house. We have told him when he can show us that he can be trusted we will then think about getting him a phone.
Anyway, I’ve been reading a thread on MN yesterday that has me thinking maybe I’m being unreasonable and I should buy him a phone for his upcoming birthday... it’s his bday before high school.
I’m worried I’m treating him ‘too young’
