That’s one thing I like about her phone, the tracking. I can set a limit for her screen time and set bedtime hours, I just rather physically have the phone. I can also see exactly what apps she’s using and for how long she’s on each one. I have an app on my phone that tracks all her activity. I’m sure if I looked into it there is something like that for her iPad, but not sure.

The original plan was to start her with a watch phone for kids. But since she was texting from my cell I figured that was a “fun” way to get her to practice spelling more. So we went with a phone over a watch.

I still think it’s crazy how much tech kids these days have at their fingertips.

So do you think there is a big difference between phones and ipads. I mean besides the obvious technical differences ?

Im asking because both my kids have had ipads since they were young. You know how it goes, starts out with all the educational stuff then comes the youtube addiction lol my son is good with it but my 6 yr old was out of control we took her tablet away 6 months ago amd only recently gave it back to her. So far soo good but my lord youtube is like crack

Oh my gosh, I want YouTube to disappear. Lol
It all started with just a few how-to videos on how to do things in Minecraft and now they will just watch videos of other people playing. It makes no sense. I finally lost it today and told them no more or I’m taking their switches away.

The biggest difference really is just the calling and texting. Everything else is basically the same between phones and tablets now.
But the freedom to call and text family quickly become a learning lesson for us all. I had to explain texting etiquette, appropriate calling times, ect. It’s had its own challenges, but now that the newness is wearing off things are getting easier/better.

So between my house and the local IGA (corner store) is a paddock type thing with a path running through it leading from one street to the street the shop is on.

For the last few weeks there's been a little tricycle thing in the paddock, and every time me or one of my housemates walk through the paddock the trike has moved.

We've gotten into the habit of taking photos of it when we go past and keeping track of it's movement. Honestly I'm waiting for someone to put it in a tree or somewhere similarly stupid... :shakehead

Heres a few of the pics we've taken:
