A great reminder of the importance of our children's developing brains to be without these harmful devices. My husband and I speak openly with our 15 year old twins why they still are not receiving a smartphone. We have been having these conversations since they started middle school. Parents- you can do it! I'm sure my kids would take a phone if I handed it to them but they do understand (maybe are not happy) that it's not time even yet. Talking and sharing the importance of waiting and dangers of not waiting are key for my family.
