I got my son an iPhone for his 12th birthday. He's a good kid and a straight-A student. Plus, it's convenient to me for him to have a phone.

Much to my surprise, he really doesn't spend that much time on it and often forgets it when he leaves the house.

My grandson turned 12 yesterday and his parents gave him one of their old phones, an iPhone 6. He’s a straight A student who is in the gifted program. He goes to a charter school where kids can only access the school intranet during school hours. If he doesn’t follow the rules his parents have set for the phone, his dad will take it away, believe me.

Yep 12 was the age for my four kids. I’m kinda shocked at All the previous posts. Either they never had children or there were no cell phones when they were raising children. That Hass to be the only explanation. I thought they were a good motivator to keep them in line quite frankly. The boys are all in their 20s now and running their own lives and our daughter is 14 and learning the ways of life. But none of them got in any kind of trouble whatsoever. We have two grandchildren now and a daughter-in-law. Life goes on.
