She immediately had a "friend' give her a burner phone. This escalated to text during school hours that caused stress and anxiety when school should be a place of learning and security.   She hasn't had an Iphone since then and I have switched to a GABB. This was the only choice for her. We tried screen time. But I know every child would benefit from no schools during school hours. It is ok to be without your phone for school. And her mental health is much improved!   CNN podcast   click to see Jonathan Haidt's data on kids, anxiety and phone use in the US and around the world.   click here WHAT IS NEW AT THE HIDDEN PRESCHOOL?   Landlines.
