Thanks. My daughter always asks for a smartphone, but I say no to that. My wife has one and lets my daughter use it a bit, but we control her screen time as much as we can. Her school home tutoring program employs a tablet computer of sorts though, but that cannot be used for regular internet purposes. I really am opposed to 5G, but that is slowly being thrust on us. My wife's smartphone and my flip phone are 4G at least.
I have 4 children. They didn't get a cellphone with an internet connection until they started college. Before they started college the wife & I would allow them to use borrow ours under supervision. I don't understand parents allowing pre-teen & even teens to have their own cellphone. The internet can be a dangerous place. Lots of grooming going on.....
