Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cr00zng" data-source="post: 1871991" data-attributes="member: 318059">I don't know Jake, it's a different world nowadays...She has been using computers, both Mac and Windows, since she was five. Yes, we've monitored her internet usage and still do to a certain extent. She has not given us any reason for not trusting her. That may come later, she's younger than your granddaughter, but we will see.Her brother, who is five now, pretty much uses all of my computing devices in my house now. He finds what he needs, regardless of the platform. I really enjoyed throwing different systems at them, some with touch screens, while others with touch-pad and mouse. For some reason, neither of them could get used of my mouse trackball. Then again, some adults cannot get used of it either. We do set the time limit for computer activities and off it goes, when expired. Interactive games and playing in the backyard are still important for them.Their computer knowledge did come handy with the remote learning. Sometimes I am amazed at how active my grandson is in the class via Zoom meeting and how quickly both of them can navigate these online education programs. I have hard times sometimes just to even follow them where they are in the "remote class".. If everything works out well, we will replace the iPhone 5 within couple of month that support screen time or any other paid app. If not, she will not have an iPhone, it's a privilege and she needs to treat it as such.  We just didn't want to spend the money on an iPhone and have it in the draw for 2-3 years...</blockquote>
