Alright, what are your thoughts about elementary-aged kiddos having cell phones? When I was a kid, it was like unheard of of a kiddo and elementary having a cell phone, but I feel like now it's so much more common with how things are. I'm not saying there's a right or wrong answer. I'm just curious what you think. I think we'll probably take it year by year for our kid and maybe when he's like older elementary, if he's staying after school for anything, maybe just have a phone for texting us or calling us, but again I'm not really sure.

I think I got my first phone in the fourth or fifth grade. So that's more towards the end of elementary school. But I think now, like when my kids go into school, I think I would give them a phone. They have the options, excuse me, they have the options to where you can get phones where they can just call like mom or dad. So I think we'd opt for that one first. But I think what the way that things are, I feel like they definitely need some way to communicate with me or dad.

So when I was a kid, I don't think any of I didn't have a phone until I was in eighth or ninth grade and I don't think any of my friends had phones until we were like in sixth grade. But elementary school no one had a phone. Today's day and age, if I send my son to school, I would a hundred percent send him with a phone so that he could contact me at any time. But my caveat there is there it would not be a smartphone. I don't want him on social media or any apps or anything that young.

So where we live like our Wi-Fi sucks so my son loves YouTube kids and he does have a cell phone and he doesn't call people off of it he can if he needed to but he does it all he does is use YouTube kids but the only reason is because or we don't have Wi-Fi so

So when I was in elementary school I did have a cell phone but I wasn't really allowed to have certain apps I was just really used for the purpose of being able to contact my parents which I think if you are letting your kid have a phone to or like for the sole purpose of being able to get a hold of their parents and not to be on apps I think it's totally fine but I definitely don't think elementary age kids should be having any of the apps because they're so so toxic at that
