Teach Tech Tx

Being totally honestly with myself...this author is 100% correct and I have my 13 year old’s phone almost completely locked down that she can’t look at a menu from a restaurant where I’m picking up dinner without requesting access and me unlocking but she sees this stuff on friends phones. So even if I were to take it away, I feel it’s a bit of a losing battle unless we all unite.

Also being totally honest with you all, I told her no Snapchat until we could handle Instagram for one year, well she hasn’t had Instagram for 8 months and she went on a friend’s phone and created a Snapchat account anyway. So can she handle social media...nope I think not? Thank goodness for an older sibling 10 years ahead of her who lets me know all the stupid stuff my teen does. I realize not everyone has their own personal double agent like I do, this the HUGE dilemma.

I’m glad I waited til middle of 7th but I’m thinking with #4 I’m better off waiting til 8th.
