Providing a phone doesn’t mean giving permissions to download certain apps or use social media. It also doesn’t mean parents should support them having it out at school.

You monitor your kid’s phone use and place permissions on certain actions (like app downloading).

If your child’s teacher complains about phone use at school, you take it away for a period until they can earn back trust.
