Thanks, was just wondering. I have a 3 year old and the prospect of raising him in today's tech environment is daunting. I can't imagine I'll have to deal with him having a smartphone, etc. It's terrible.

I have a younger kid and we have set expectations that no cell phone before high school,

I’m sure there’d be push back in middle school but we’ll be able to refer to the older kid. Fingers crossed..

Also, I had used the family thing with the older kid, so app installations required patent approval. So that at least forces usage of web apps if the kid is trying to bypass some restrictions, which in itself reduces the damage caused by these social networks.
