We thought Mazzy would enter the world of texting when we made the decision to give her a smart phone, which is still a few years away. But it ended up happening way sooner than we intended, because Mazzy and her friends all figured out how to exchange email addresses (an email address she only had because we opened up a family iCloud account to limit screen time) and then they all started texting each other from their tablets. At first, getting sent random unicorn and cat gifs from Mazzy over text was really fun, but then, as her address book grew, it quickly became apparent that access to iMessage was opening up a whole host of online communication issues that I needed to address. I wrote a post about what happened, how I navigated the situation and the new rules we put in place. If you are dealing with similar stuff, I hope this helps! Link in bio.

My daughter is 5 (going on 6 and 16 😉) and is in a Maria Montessori school. I suddenly realised that after 2 years of kindergarten (4-6 yo) she will go to the next level after summer and will be in the same class with 6, 7, 8 and 9 year olds. 😱 because learning from older classmates is great, but also learning from older classmates is awful! And texting through iPads or having real life conversations that might be a bit early for her are closer than I thought. So glad I found you! You handled this great and hopefully I will learn more wise lessons about 9 y olds and how I teach my 6 year old how to handle herself!

Oh man...currently navigating this world with my own crew of digital natives (11yo and 7yo). @commonsenseorg is my go to source for guidelines and advice on all things technology and kids related. At this point I live by the mantra that the best tool for parental control is your voice in their head. I think the opportunity for discussions at at early age are a blessing in disguise! A 9 yo with a device might still come to you for help fixing these problems....a 13 yo might not. This is the world they live in, and I would rather have the chance to guide them through it while they’re still willing to listen!

I got a phone call yesterday from my son’s teacher. She was calling every parent in class because the whole Momo thing has been a huge topic of discussion amongst the kids. BUT, while she had me on the phone, she wanted me to know that my kid’s search history was mostly “scary pictures.” She said that some of the images were quiet disturbing. So, we immediately had the convo that there is a time and place - school is neither. Not to mention that he’s 10 and doesn’t need to be looking for scary things, he’ll grow up soon enough.

Wow. just read the whole post. That’s an intense situation. Thank you for sharing such important moments, and thank Mazzy also since it’s her life experience also. My son is starting his first report in school and even though I want him to do as much with books and the library I know he will need the computer to search. And that is my fear, but now thanks to you and your family I have a guideline as to how to manage a situation like this if I’m ever in it. Which we know it’s most likely to happen.

“googling biblical references for a Hebrew school project and landing on sex toys is pretty much the epitome of what happens when you give your kids access to the internet.” OMG yes. Our son is 6 and also has an earlier generation iPad where we can definitely control more of what he can and can’t do. I shudder to think what will happen as he gets older but reading your post is helping me prepare because I think you’re spot on: it happens sooner than we think.... or are even ready for. 😔

Kids find a way to get around the boundaries, so beware. I’m a teacher and we catch even the most unsuspecting students making poor choices and finding ways to hide messaging and communication and searches. Be alert and stay on top of those devices. It’s an unfortunate problem.
