I agree. My first son got his first cell phone in grade 12. I'm a stay-at-home mom and I know better my second son. However he got his phone in grade 10. And I am okay with that. I'm from Canada. Loved family and the focus!!
Have a blessed day

I wonder if it bothers any other Christians that the only "kids" in the Bible were young goats.
The young men and women are referred to as "children" in the plural use and "child" in the singular use.
Satan is often portrayed as a goat (see the "goat of Mendes" and "the Baphomet" especially the church of satan statue of the Baphomet with two children positioned at his hooves looking up to him),
And suddenly, to be called The GOAT, is an actual compliment. I remember seeing all of the politicians in the early 2000s making the same hand signs. I asked my mother, "What is this hand sign they're all making now?" She thought maybe it was Texas Longhorns. It wasn't. They were all showing then exactly whom their allegiance was to. Just look at how much more evil things have become since the early 2000s. Even Sarah Palin brought out the devil horns for her public appearances. It was all so bizarre to me at the time but admittedly, I was clueless then too.
Getting back to the point of my comment, should Christian parents and pastors be referring to their children as "young goats" (without even a second thought) on a daily basis?
I don't think Jesus would approve at all. I think he would want people to seek the truth and make a point of living in it.
From Jakub Marian:
"The noun “kid” in contemporary English is mostly used to informally refer to a child, e.g. “she’s just a kid” or “only 90s kids will remember”. However, the original meaning (which still exists but is rarely used outside the context of agriculture) is “a young goat”.
The meaning was extended to a “child” (from a “young goat”) in the late 16th century slang and became established in the mid 19th century. However, the origin of the word before that is even more interesting.
“Kid” is actually not a native English word. It is an early borrowing from Old Norse “kið” (“young goat”), and its descendants can still be found in modern Scandinavian languages, e.g. “killing” (literally “kid-ling”) in Swedish (also meaning “young goat”). However, the word “kid” itself in Swedish now means “a young deer”.
Finally, the English verb “kid” is probably derived from the noun via the meaning “to treat as a child”."
