We have 3 kids. 18, 15 and 13. All had phones by age 9. They are aware we monitor internet usage, texts and phone calls. The workplace of today, colleges and society at large are connected beyond anything we could have conceived . Keeping kids away from this technology would be a disservice to their development. I am fine with our kids having Facebook, phones, xbox live etc. As long as their grades do not suffer. And strong parenting is critical in any day or age in order for kids to succeed.
