I know this is a "duh" moment for me...but thank you for posting that. I had no idea this was an option and it's good info to have!!
My oldest two are 11 & 10 and beg me almost daily for a cell. I won't do it until they are in middle school and I'm sticking to that one for sure!
We monitor emails and it's such a pita, but at the rate some of these kids are growing up, it's such a necessity.
Kretz...12?? UGH!
